Hi, everyone. It's Dr. Nigrogat. Our next episode of Psychology Unplugged. Thanks, as always, to all of our followers here in the United States and internationally. I enjoy the opportunities I get to talk with you guys or share emails or text and even have conversations. And I do my best to get back to as many people as possible. And if I haven't,

I will give you contact information to try and get a hold of me. And I do my best to get back

to as many people as possible. So I was going through a list of just all the different

episodes that we've done. And I realize I haven't done a lot on,

I have done some, I've done a lot on psychosis,

and I wanted to talk about today,

borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia.

And because it's, at face values, it's at face values,

it's like how,

why would these two disorders,

why would I do a podcast and two that have completely different etiologies

where borderline is more of a function of learning

and schizophrenia is purely neurotransmission.

So two very different etiologies, but the symptom overlap, again, why a neuropole is so important,

is it distinguishing what are these differences?

Is it one, the other, or both? So, you know, schizophrenia and

borderline personality have several symptoms in common, like psychosis, relationship difficulties,

and paranoia. Again, even though these symptoms are alike, there are a lot of differences between them.

And a lot of people don't realize that psychosis is a real symptom in borderline personality disorder,

not so much in the sense that it is a psychotic disorder.

And hopefully I'll be able to explain more of that.

But both schizophrenia and borderline, they involve psychotic episodes.
