I think my daughter in law is. Bipolar borderline schizophrenia. She is on Xanax and one other medication. I am trying to locate a psychiatrist who specializes in these disorders and is open to therapies that involve natural therapies instead if the medications that have not worked and cause her to become so mean. They live in reno Nevada

Hi, Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder are three different disorders. Borderline PD can be present with either Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, but not all in one patient.Alprazolam (xanax) is a sedative most likely given to aid her with sleep or to reduce agitation. There are psychotherapies (or counselling) available for these disorders but the effectiveness of these will depend on the severity of the disorder and the precise diagnosis. They will be most effective with medications.A psychiatrist can guide you with the right treatment and clinical psychologists can administer the therapies. Hope this helps,Dr A Rao
