Is Rehabilitation Necessary To Treat Depression And Borderline Personality Disorder?
I struggle from depression and traits of Borderline Personality Disorder. I've been in counseling for 2 years. I have also been cutting myself for 2 years, and on a not as regular basis I take painkillers like oxycontin and hydros. Do I need to be in a rehabilitation center?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In borderline personality and depression, you need continuous treatment with mood stabilizer or antidepressant. That would help you to control mood swing. in that case, there is no need to go any rehab center. You can get treatment on OPD basis. Better to consult a psychiatrist and psychologist for treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
