When Saturday Night Live’s writer and cast member, Pete Davidson, was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), he used the opportunity to raise awareness. On the show’s segment, Weekend Update, Pete was interviewed about the challenges that BPD has introduced into his life and about how much therapy has helped him. He was honest and vulnerable and (of course!) funny. Pete encouraged the audience, “first of all, if you think you’re depressed, see a doctor and talk to them about medication, and also be healthy. Eating right and exercise can make a huge difference. And finally, if you are in the cast of a late-night comedy show, it might help, if they, ya know, do more of your sketches.” Having sketches performed on SNL is advice that probably will not help most people, but seeking help likely encouraged many people.

Balance, however, may be restored through therapy. Many people who seek help for BPD have found the support they needed to regain equilibrium in their lives.
