Borderline Personality Disorder: No Man Is an Island

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is one of the most damaging mental illnesses. By itself, this severe mental illness accounts for up to 10 percent of patients in psychiatric care and 20 percent of those who have to be hospitalized. The defining characteristic of BPD is a pervasive instability in the patient’s life, especially when it comes to interpersonal relationships. BPD patients also have difficulty controlling their impulses and regulating their emotions. Close relationships of patients are often tumultuous and compromised by highly unpredictable behavior that can leave others baffled, angry and frightened. This behavior exerts a tremendous toll not only on those afflicted with the illness, but also on their social network and the health care system. (A well known, if dramatized, example is the character Glenn Close played in the movie Fatal Attraction.) Surprisingly, despite the importance of this disorder, little is yet known about what brain mechanisms might underlie it. In a recent paper in the journal Science, Brooks King-Casas and colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine provide an illuminating look into the brain in people suffering from BPD. [More]

Review for Quantum of Solace - Must Go! - Not the best Bond ever…but close
Absolutely amazing…the character is building, Bond is becoming Bond, and the transformation is almost complete. This was an amazing movie…while the action never stopped the character never stopped growing. Although plot was an issue, a pre-quil is not about plot…it is about how James Bond becomes James Bond and Quantum has successfully continued to build 007.

We Were Soldiers | DVD Movie Review - DVD Pick of the Week
Mel Gibson gives a winning performance in We Were Soldiers, an emotionally engaging military action movie that centers around a historic Vietnam War battle. The film is loaded with exciting combat footage, but what I like best about it is its portrayal of real-life career Army officer Hal Moore. Read my review of this movie on DVD.
