Psychological and Pharmacological Treatment for Brief Psychotic Disorder with Borderline Personality Disorder

Abstract

The study aimed to understand human impairment and how psychologists should deal with it psychologically and medically. The treatment should be planned and implemented by psychologists and other professionals. The study is based on a 26-year-old girl. She was reporting complaints of polysubstance abuse, grandiose thoughts, hallucinations, and self-harm. She had an unstable relationship with her family—the conducted assessment tools included behavioral observation, clinical interview, and mental state examination. Through 5 sessions, the client seemed to have a Substance/Medication-induced psychotic disorder comorbidity with borderline personality disorder. The treatment plan includes psychological therapy and pharmacological medicines. The medication that helped to overcome the severity of her symptoms was as follows: risperidone, Motilium, lament, olives, rivotril, and onset. The previous studies helped to understand the client's condition and to plan their treatment.
