Borderline Personality Disorder: To Home Page What Is It, What Causes It? How Can We Treat It? click for Site Map by Joel Paris, M.D. What is Borderline Personality Disorder? Personality disorders affect about 10% of the general population. This group of mental disorders is defined by maladaptive personality characteristics that have a consistent and serious effect on work and interpersonal relationships. DSM-IV defines ten categories of personality disorder. Of these, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the most frequent in clinical practice. BPD is also one of the most difficult and troubling problems in all of psychiatry. The term "borderline" is a misnomer. These patients were first described sixty years ago by psychoanalysts who noted they did poorly in treatment, and therefore theorized that this is a form of pathology lying on the border between psychosis and neurosis. Although we no longer believe that patients with BPD have an underlying psychosis, the name "borderline" has stuck. A much more descriptive label would be "emotionally unstable: personality disorder." The central feature of BPD is instability, affecting patients in many sectors of their lives. Thus, borderline patients show a wide range of impulsive behaviors, particularly those that are self destructive. They are highly unstable emotionally, and develop wide mood swings in response to stressful events. Finally, BPD may be complicated by brief psychotic episodes.

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER Diagnosis A person with a borderline personality disorder often experiences a repetitive pattern of disorganization and instability in self-image, mood, behavior and close personal relationships. This can cause significant distress or impairment in friendships and work. A person with this disorder can often be bright and intelligent, and appear warm, friendly and competent. They sometimes can maintain this appearance for a number of years until their defense structure crumbles, usually around a stressful situation like the breakup of a romantic relationship or the death of a parent.

Powered by JRank Encyclopedia of Mental Disorders Mental Disorders A-Br Borderline personality disorder Definition Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental disorder characterized by disturbed and unstable interpersonal relationships and self-image, along with impulsive, reckless, and often self-destructive behavior. Description Individuals with BPD have a history of unstable interpersonal relationships. They have difficulty interpreting reality and view significant people in their lives as either completely flawless or extremely unfair and uncaring (a phenomenon known as "splitting"). These alternating feelings of idealization and devaluation are the hallmark feature of borderline personality disorder. Because borderline patients set up such excessive and unrealistic expectations for others, they are inevitably disappointed when their expectations aren't realized. The term "borderline" was originally used by psychologist Adolf Stern in the 1930s to describe patients whose condition bordered somewhere between psychosis and neurosis . It has also been used to describe the borderline states of consciousness these patients sometimes feel when they experience dissociative symptoms (a feeling of disconnection from oneself).

There is a high rate of self-injury without suicide intent, as well as a significant rate of suicide attempts and completed suicide in severe cases.

This instability often disrupts family and work life, long-term planning, and the individual's sense of self-identity. Borderline personality disorder affects many adults in America who are mostly young women. There is a high rate of self-injury and self-mutilation, as well as a significant rate of suicide attempts. Patients often need extensive mental health services in order to successfully treat BPD. With professional help, many improve over time and are eventually able to lead productive lives. While the causes of borderline personality disorder have not been confirmed through scientific research, genetic and environmental factors are thought to predispose people to develop this disorder. Researchers believe the environmental stress, neglect, or abuse in young children and a series of harmful events will lead to neurologic and behavioral changes associated with BPD. Adults with borderline personality disorder are also more likely to be the victim of violence, including rape and other crimes. This may result from both harmful environments as well as impulsivity and poor judgment in choosing partners and lifestyles.

14. Emotionally Unstable (Borderline) Personality Disorder Information and links from mentalhealth.com. http://www.mentalhealth.com/dis/p20-pe05.html

EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE (BORDERLINE) PERSONALITY DISORDER Diagnostic Features: Emotionally Unstable (Borderline) Personality Disorder is a condition characterized by impulsive actions, rapidly shifting moods, and chaotic relationships. The individual usually goes from one emotional crisis to another. Often there is dependency, separation anxiety, unstable self-image, chronic feelings of emptiness, and threats of self-harm (suicide or self-mutilation). This disorder is only diagnosed when these behaviors become persistent and very disabling/distressing. Complications: Completed suicide occurs in 8%-10% of individuals with this disorder, and self-mutilative acts (e.g., cutting or burning) and suicide threats and attempts are very common. Recurrent job losses, interrupted education, and broken marriages are common. Comorbidity: Very stressful or chaotic childhoods are commonly reported (e.g., physical and sexual abuse, neglect, hostile conflict, and early parental loss or separation). Mood disorders, Substance-Related Disorders, Eating Disorders (usually Bulimia), Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and other Personality Disorders frequently co-occur with this disorder. Associated Laboratory Findings: No laboratory test has been found to be diagnostic of this disorder.

Search AAMFT Consumer Update Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious and complex mental illness that affects 2 - 3% of the population. Once thought to be on the "border" of schizophrenia, BPD is now believed to be more closely related to mood disorders such as depression, or possibly to impulse control disorders like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. People with BPD have difficulty regulating their emotions and controlling their impulses. They often act out their emotions or impulses, either through intense inappropriate displays of anger, or through self-injurious or suicidal behavior. Although self-injury often occurs without suicidal intent, a significant number of people with BPD die by suicide. Depression and anxiety are common in people with BPD, and many also struggle with addiction problems. Individuals with BPD often need extensive mental health services, and they account for 20% of psychiatric hospitalizations. Despite the seriousness of the disorder, recent research indicates that treatment can lead to considerable improvement over time, and there is hope for recovery. What are the symptoms of BPD?

Borderline Personality Disorder – Symptoms and Treatment You are here: Life Challenges Borderline Personality Disorder Borderline Personality Disorder – What is it? Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a condition that begins in early childhood, but is often not fully displayed until young adulthood (early to mid 20s). “It is a common disorder with estimates running as high as 10-14 % of the general population,” states Richard J. Corelli, M.D. of Stanford. The cause of BPD is not fully understood, but some authorities believe it may be a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain. These chemicals (neurotransmitters) help balance mood, genetic and environmental influences. This mental health disorder is more common among people whose family members also have BPD. It is also noted that people who have developed this disorder have suffered a major trauma in early childhood. The trauma may be physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, neglect or perhaps a stressful or disturbing detachment from a parent. Borderline Personality Disorder – What are the Symptoms?
