My [25M] girlfriend [25F] of 2 years has been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and I'm unsure how to help her get better.

Tl;Dr: girlfriend of 2 years was diagnosed Borderline and I don't know how to help her get better.

Greetings Reddit,

A while back I started suspecting something might've been wrong with my girlfriend as her reactions and aggressiveness towards me seemed out of place in certain situations (not physical aggression). We talked about it and decided to schedule a psychiatrist appointment.

Two nights ago we went to see him. They talked for about 30 minutes and then had me come in. He showed me common symptoms and asked me whether she had them. Out of 9 symptoms, she had 8.5, and so, she was diagnosed with BPD and was given an increasing dosage of Topiramate (mood stabilizer or something) to take daily.

In a way, I felt relieved that her aggressiveness towards me was not because a lack of love but rather a consequence of her very troubled past.

We live together and I love her deeply, as does she, , but I'm unsure about how I can contribute to help "cure" her other than ensuring she takes her daily meds.
