Aripiprazole in treatment of borderline patients, part II: an 18-month follow-up

Rationale Only one controlled trial is known that employed aripiprazole for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This 8-week trial found significant changes on most scales of the symptom checklist (SCL-90-R), Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HARS), and on all scales of the state–trait anger expression inventory (STAXI).
