The following is a post on Brandon Marshall and borderline personality disorder.\u00a0 Borderline is often abbreviated\u00a0as BPD and is easily confused with bipolar disorder. They are very different mental \u00a0illnesses (brain disorders). I wanted to get this posted today and will write more about the differences later this afternoon. (The difference between Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder.)<\/a><\/p>\n

The very well known football player Brandon Marshall now\u00a0with the Miami Dolphins, \u00a0just told the media that he has borderline personality disorder.<\/p>\n

I praise him greatly. It’s not easy to talk about borderline personality disorder as it’s a very difficult to treat illness that comes with a lot of stigma. Much more than with a bipolar disorder diagnosis.<\/p>\n

I am so happy that this is talked about openly. It will make a difference in so many lives, including those who are embarrassed about a bipolar disorder diagnosis.<\/p>\n

For his entire career he has been known as a huge talent with huge\u00a0 \u00a0‘personal’\u00a0\u00a0 problems.\u00a0 He says he has been miserable- now he has some answers. That is how I felt when I was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Did you feel the same? How about your loved one?<\/p>\n

Here are the links to various articles on the story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yahoo Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

Palm Beach Post<\/a><\/p>\n

Business Insider<\/a><\/p>\n

AOL Healthy Living <\/a><\/p>\n

The public often has an image of a person with mental illness\u00a0 created from pictures of old psychiatric hospitals, out of control movie characters or people on the street.\u00a0 By talking openly about having a mental illness and a really misunderstood illness like borderline personality disroder, he will save relationships and lives.<\/p>\n
