Cattanarinussi (2021) stated medication for treatment of borderline personality disorder should be used at very low and for minimal amounts of time.

Crawford (2018) found that despite mood stabilizers being prescribed frequently on BPD patients, they are neither cost effective or medically effective in treating BPD as whole after performing a year long study.

'''Mood stabilizers are anticonvulsant drugs used for both epilepsy and reduction in mood variations in patients with excessive and often dangerous mood variabilities. Often, the goal of the anticonvulsants are to bring certain areas of the brain to equilibrium and control outbursts and seizures.'''

A case study on a male patient with borderline personality disorder found IV Ketamine treatments, typically used for treatment unresponsive depression, drastically decreased anxiety, depression, and suicidal behaviors. (Purohith, 2021)
