Patty Johnson, M.S.W., Owner - "Borderline Personality Disorder Sanctuary"
Currently, many of the disorders Dr. Heller lists in his book are underdiagnosed and undertreated. I believe most doctors are unaware of how to diagnose these "illnesses," much less how to treat them. Many people spend years in therapy only to find they still fit the criteria for the disorders. Dr. Heller advocates treating all aspects, physical, mental and spiritual.
This book, I believe, is a necessity for the patient, and for anyone who feels they are not enjoying life to the fullest. Many of us will find ourselves in these pages, where no doctor has found us before. Dr. Heller believes that it is only when patients demand proper treatment that changes can and will be made. He states "victims of the these disorders must take responsibility for getting themselves well and for pushing the medical and mental health communities into pursuing solutions that work."
As I look back on my life, I see senseless years of chaos, emotional pain, rejection sensitivity, etc. affecting every area of my life. I know now that this suffering can stop. The book "Biological Unhappiness" can help make this suffering stop. It provides hope to all of us that suffer needlessly and a "map" for doctors in treating these patients.
Book Description
The diagnoses include ADD & ADHD, Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder, Panic, Fractured Enjoyment, Dysthymia, OCPD, bipolar and others.
