Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focused on treatment for depression may also prove useful to help identify thought patterns and behaviors that operate as risk factors for mood disorders, and to encourage new, more successful behaviors. Bipolar I and II, and major depressive disorders occur more commonly in patients with borderline disorder than they do in the general population. Bipolar II disorder is the most common type of bipolar disorder that occurs with borderline disorder. People with bipolar II disorder do not experience manic episodes as do those with bipolar I disorder, but do experience brief hypomanic periods and recurring episodes of depression. Depressions associated with bipolar disorder appear to be related to depressions referred to as atypical depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Substance Abuse Treatment in Patients with <strong>Borderline</strong> Disorder by Robert O. Friedel, MD Two-thirds of people with borderline disorder seriously abuse alcohol, street drugs, and/or prescribed drugs. This is a major factor resulting in poor outcome of people with borderline disorder. Alcohol and drugs are abused by people with borderline disorder to temporarily relieve the severe emotional pain that they experience, especially when under stress. Predictably, this relief is short lived. Even worse, the use of these substances markedly increases many of the symptoms of borderline disorder making substance abuse treatment all the more important. It is possible that some of the genetic alterations that are risk factors in borderline disorder may also be among the group of genes that predispose people to alcoholism and drug abuse. { INCLUDEPICTURE "http://www.thehealthcarenet.com/IMAGES/ACC_Alcohol.jpg" \* MERGEFORMATINET } DSM-IV-TR Criteria for Substance Use Disorders: There are two types of substance use disorders, substance dependence and substance abuse. Substance abuse treatment is important in both types of substance use disorders. Substance Dependence A pattern of substance use that leads to significant impairment or distress in three (or more) of the following ways: tolerance, as defined by either a need for markedly increased amounts of the substance to achieve the desired effect, or a markedly diminished effect with continued used of the same amount of the substance withdrawal symptoms characteristic for the substance, or increased use to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms the substance is taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than intended a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control substance use
much time is spent in activities to obtain the substance, use the substance, or recover from its effects important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced the substance use is continued despite it causing a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem (e.g., current cocaine use despite recognition of cocaineinduced depression) Self-Injurious Behaviors and Suicidality in <strong>Borderline</strong> Disorder by Robert O.
