Kiera Van Gelder
Kiera Van Gelder is the author of "Buddha & the Borderline," a memoir detailing her experiences with Borderline Personality Disorder.
She candidly shares her journey through diagnosis, various therapies, and her exploration of Buddhism.
Van Gelder worked as an advocate for BPD for years, bringing extensive knowledge to her writing.
Her background appears to be that of a middle-class white woman, which some readers noted as a limitation in perspective.
Van Gelder's writing style is described as honest, vulnerable, and at times humorous.
Though she has stepped back from public advocacy, her book continues to impact readers' understanding of BPD and mental health treatment.
