Borderline times: the end of normality

The world through the eyes of psychiatrist Dirk De Wachter We live in borderline times. In psychiatry, borderline is by far the most frequently made diagnosis today. Moreover, the line between patients and non-patients is wafer-thin. Are we collectively on the road to illness and discontent? Psychiatry is the mirror of the world we live in. Dirk De Wachter therefore describes borderline as a social disease. One conclusion is crystal clear: In our Western society, the symptoms of borderline are not far to seek. What's more, they characterize our living environment. We are our brain in time. Fortunately, there are other, more hopeful signals with a prospect of recovery. Our world seems to be on a border. People explicitly resist the symptoms. Attachment, commitment, solidarity and community spirit are values ​​that are essential to offer resistance to the current borderline condition of threatening fragmentation, impulsiveness and meaninglessness.
