Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhu Gang
Individuals with borderline personality disorder may engage in binge eating. This patient frequently shifts from extreme admiration to extreme devaluation in daily work and life, exhibiting such intense emotional swings that most people find them difficult to accept, leading to strained relationships. Lithium is currently the most commonly used mood stabilizer; it significantly inhibits the central nervous system's secretion of norepinephrine and dopamine, while promoting neuronal reuptake, thereby exerting an anti-manic effect.
