What exactly is borderline personality disorder?
This is a very difficult question to explain but once you have
come across a person with this disorder, you will not forget it. There are many
people with this diagnosis.
In BPD, patients have marked volatility in their
daily functioning. They have fluctuating mood and affect, volatile interpersonal
relationships, and sometimes are not even aware of reality. The disorder is
often associated with depression, drug abuse, impulsive behavior, psychosis and
self-harm.
The majority of patients with BPD are known to commits acts of self-harm
and have a very high rate of suicide. They bring misery not only to themselves but
also to everyone around them. There is no cure and these people are not
compliant with medications. They are often arrested for committing acts of
violence and are almost always in trouble with the law.
