Research Notes on Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental disorder in which a person has difficulty regulating emotions and often makes impulsive decisions and actions, leading to chaotic relationships and unstable moods.1 Symptoms of borderline personality disorder include reckless behavior, inability to accept responsibility for personal actions, feelings of emptiness, and frequent outbursts of inappropriate anger.2 BPD typically appears in late childhood and appears to be more common in women than men.3 Treatment options include medications and individual and group therapy.2 The success of treatment relies on you adhering to the treatment schedule, attending therapy, and taking the medications as scheduled.2

Fast Facts

  • 40% - 71% of BPD patients report sexual abuse as a child.1
  • Suicidal thoughts are common among BPD patients in their 20's.4
  • Destructive tendencies are often decreased within one year of treatment, and within ten years almost all patients can resume a normal lifestyle with no further treatment.4
  • You can take an OrganizedWisdom quiz on borderline personality disorder to help shed light on whether or not you may have this condition.
