Study Reveals BPD Has the Strongest Link to Childhood Trauma
Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) have long been correlated with mental health struggles like addiction, depression and anxiety in adulthood. But a new analysis, conducted by researchers at the University of Manchester, found that borderline personality disorder (BPD) was actually the mental illness most strongly associated with childhood trauma. BPD is a mental illness characterized by nine classic symptoms, some of which include unstable interpersonal relationships, impulsivity, difficulty regulating emotions and suicidality. BPD is the mental illness with the highest suicide rate and affects approximately 1.7 percent of the general population. In the new study, researchers analyzed data from 97 studies to compare adverse childhood experiences of people diagnosed with BPD…

Photo by Ash Daniel Victorian-era novelist Charles Dickens and the 1970s soft rock tune “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)” might seem to have little in common, but this week, their mutual link will hit the stage at Swift Creek Mill Theatre. Rupert Holmes, the British-American tunesmith behind the morally dubious song about searching for someone who enjoys piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, is also the creative force behind “The Mystery of Edwin Drood,” a musical adaptation of Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name.…

Society Didn’t Make Them Do It
We all remember hearing variations on the lie, “society made me do it,” a lie spouted by criminals, sociopaths or psychopaths. Some of us recall the end of movies like Ten to Midnight, a film from 1983, where Charles Bronson’s cop corners a serial killer, and the murderer shouts those words or something along those lines.

These are extreme examples of how criminals, on the screen, lie and feign mental illness, so that they won’t…

Photo: SG Wildlife Photography / 500px/Getty Images/500px Plus Hi Polly, I desperately need some practical advice about a very impractical life problem.
