NICE Guideline for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and other PD

Becca · 23-02-2009, 06:47 PM

The NICE guideline for borderline personality disorder has been put up on the NICE website which is here http://www.nice.org.uk/ I thought it might be of help to some people here who are having difficulty accessing services.

I hope it is okay to post the link. Apologies if not.

Yeah, they're really useful. I've got the NICE guidlines for Self-Harm and the NICE guidelines for Schizophrenia on my laptop.

I did ask in the community questions if it was okay and the message was ignored. I left it there for quite a long time. I didn't actually know who the mod here was. But as no-one replied I assumed I could and assumed if it wasn't okay a trusty mod would come along and let me know.

I purposly didn't link to the specific information and kept it general.

Why on earth wouldn't it be ok to link to the Nice Guidelines?

The last psych hospital I was in had the leaflets of the guidelines for many of the relevant subjects, they're user friendly and encouraged by people like mind, the government etc. I know I've linked people to them at least three times before on here.
The idea of it not being ok strikes me as rather bizarre considering these are guidelines of our rights to treatment.

Thanks Becca for posting it up, I'm sure it will help a lot of people.

i think it's fine to post links that aren't first aid related. i could be wrong though. i think i've posted mental health related articles here too.

Steel Maiden · 26-02-2009, 09:46 PM

It should be ok.
