Borderline Personality Disorder in India: Stories of Resilience and Hope

The cultural challenge of not wanting to talk about it and the shame-based kind of mentality make it difficult for people to seek help and talk about their mental health issues in India.
Ever wondered what it's like to live with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in a country where mental health is still a taboo topic? In this episode of 'Bold Beautiful Borderline', hosts Laurie Edmundson and Sara Amundson welcome Milana and Mahima from BPDHumans India. These inspiring guests share their personal journeys of navigating life with BPD and bipolar disorder in India, a place where stigma and misunderstanding are still prevalent.
Milana and Mahima open up about the unique challenges they face in finding mental health professionals who truly understand BPD. They discuss the cultural differences between Western individualistic approaches to psychology and the collective mindset in India. The conversation dives deep into the importance of community support and the pressing need for BPD-specific support groups in their country.
Listeners will hear firsthand accounts of the struggles and triumphs of living with a mental health condition in a society that often shies away from these conversations. The episode highlights how Milana and Mahima are breaking barriers and raising awareness about mental health through their platform, BPDHumans India. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that not only sheds light on the realities of living with BPD in India but also offers hope and solidarity to those facing similar battles.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in mental health, cultural dynamics, and the power of community.
