Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Borderline personality disorder is not directly improved or worsened by antidepressants or anxiolytics. Sometimes if someone with BPD also has concurrent major depression or an anxiety disorder, these drugs can be helpful.
However, I would not expect these drugs to uncover negative social traits.
