Does depression experienced by someone diagnosed with BPD differ from depressive disorder?

Spectrum is recruiting for a research study to understand how people with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder experience depression.

Who we need:
- Anyone diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

What’s involved:
- All we need to do is arrange an interview to complete a few basic forms that will ask questions about your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

What we’re trying to do
- We believe that people with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder have a unique experience of depression and need unique treatment. We hope this study will help us improve our services.

If you’re interested, please contact Dr Lukas Cheney at Spectrum on 8833 3050.

Thank you.
