I have been trying to figure this out ....

Can anyone tell me the difference between Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder?

I have read a great deal about both...and I don't see any difference.

Thank you

Basically one is chemical (bipolar) and one is caused usually by some form of traumatic event (borderline personality0. This means that one is helped by medication (bipoar) and the other is only helped by talk therapy (borderline personality). Hope this helped.
