最近正讀著英國作者Sarah Owen 和 Amanda Saunders 的《躁鬱症之終極指引》。這是我閱讀的第一本躁鬱症專書而且進度很慢，因為最近工作比較忙碌。
前面數十頁當中，我就已經一窺躁鬱症的徵狀，其中有些狀況其實跟邊緣型人格障礙蠻相似。兩者相似的病徵包括情緒病、抑鬱症。比起躁狂症狀，躁鬱症患者多數時候覺得抑鬱。這一點跟邊緣型人格障礙患者可能長年抑鬱的狀況有些類似。
以我初淺的精神科知識來說，兩者之間的明顯差異，就是邊緣型人格障礙患者害怕被拋離，以及常常呈現不合比例、不合理的怒憤。
若身邊有哪些親友呈現這些徵狀，閣下可以學習如何辨識兩者之間的差異，或者就知道如何回應他們。
Recently I am reading Bipolar Disorder – the Ultimate Guide by Sarah Owen and Amanda Saunders. This is my first book on the topic of Bipolar Disorder and my reading has been slow because I am really busy with work.
From the first tens of pages, I have a glimpse of Bipolar Disorder, which in some aspects quite similar to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Similar symptoms between the two included mood swing and depression. Bipolar sufferers feel depressed more than feeling maniac. This seems to be similar to years-long depression of many BPD patients.
One obvious difference between the two, as far as my skin-deep psychiatric knowledge is concerned, is that BPD sufferers have fear of abandonment as well as intense and inappropriate anger. Learning how to distinguish one from another is the key to decide how you should deal with them, if someone around you suffers from these disorders.
