Stop Medicating Borderlines and Antisocials

I get numerous requests, in the ER and in the clinic, to medicate patients who have "treat" those with borderline personality and antisocial personality. It seems heartless to tell the family members of the patients "sorry, nothing I can do," but this is the truth. Therapy itself is of limited efficacy.
   Until these folks gain some insight into their behavior, all the medication and therapy in the world will do nothing.
