Summary
This study tested a new way to help people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) by training their brain to respond more strongly to positive memories. 30 adults with BPD used real-time brain scans to learn how to increase activity in the amygdala, a brain area linked to emotions, while recalling happy events. The goal was to see if this training could reduce BPD symptoms and depression over 12 weeks.
