An Abnormal Psychology Study Using Stressors and Symptoms for a Hypothetical Individual with Borderline Personality Disorder and a Comparison with the Physio-Pathology Study Using Lifestyle Details and Glucoses from an Individual with Type 2 Diabetes by Applying the Concepts from Viscoelastic and Viscoplastic Glucose Theory (VGT 12) Based on GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine (No. 591)
Abstract

The majority of this article focuses on stressors and symptoms of a hypothetical patient with borderline personality disorder (BPD) during the period from Y2010 to Y2022. The example cited is a purely hypothetical patient with BPD conditions. The author has accumulated knowledge on abnormal psychology since 2002 and augment it from his established five psychotherapy centers to care for approximately 200 abused women and abandoned children from 2006 to 2010. Due to confidentiality, he cannot reveal any of their identities, but their general stories or commonly observed behaviors have been included into this hypothetical BPD case. Psychology is an empirical science and, at times, it is easier to describe in words about stressors (root causes), symptoms, behaviors, reactions, and/or treatments; however, it is more difficult to describe them in numbers, using a quantitative manner. That is why most psychological research work are based on statistics tools only, and not based on branches of natural science, such as physics and mathematics. The author self-studied, observed, and managed abnormal psychology therapy for 9-years, from 2002 to 2010. During that period, he has read approximately 100 textbooks and 500+ clinical reports. Based on his findings, he tried to develop some “scientific formula” based equations with a quantitation and precision approach to study and research abnormal psychology. Here, the word “scientific” means that observing physical phenomena, applying physics principles, deriving mathematical equations, building engineering modeling, and utilizing computer and artificial intelligence tools - not relying statistics tools alone. However, it was very difficult for him to collect and utilize data from patients with Personality Disorder (PD) without breaching professional ethics and patient confidentiality. The author has then given up his original idea of using his developed math-physical medicine research approach (MPM) for the psychology field. In the summer of 2010, when his health conditions became life-threatening due to severe type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications, he launched his GH-Method: math-Physical medicine (MPM) research approach on metabolism, endocrinology, food nutrition, and chronic diseases to save his own life. To date, he has written and published nearly 600 medical papers using the MPM method. This particular paper is one of his few attempts to apply his developed MPM methodology on the abnormal psychology field of BPD. The author hopes to continue his psychological research by using more of MPM approach. He appreciates the invaluable inputs, comments, criticisms, and suggestions from his colleagues regarding the area of abnormal psychology.
