Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder, also known as BPD, is a mental illness. It develops during adolescence or early adulthood. It includes self-image issues and difficulty managing emotions and behavior. And shows up in a pattern of unstable relationships. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, adults reached 1.6 % in the United States have Borderline Personality Disorder. And require borderline personality treatment.

A personality disorder is a pattern of feelings and behavior that seem appropriate and justified to the person experiencing them even though these feelings and behaviors cause many problems in that person’s life. 

Borderline Personality Treatment & Symptoms

  • Individuals need to make efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment.
  • Intense bouts of anger, depression, or anxiety that may last only hours or, at most, a few days.
  • A person has an unstable or dysfunctional self-image or a distorted sense of self.
  • A person has unstable career plans, goals, and achievements.
  • Recurrent suicidal behavior

You may be experiencing one or more of the above symptoms daily. A person with a borderline personality disorder consistently shares many of the symptoms listed above throughout adulthood.

You are extremely sensitive to rejection, reacting with anger and distress to mild separations. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important people when they are physically absent, leaving the individual with Borderline Personality disorder feeling lost or worthless.

BPD Causes

A borderline Personality disorder is currently being studied. Some aspects cause of BPD illness are unknown. But can perhaps relate to child abuse or neglect. And could also be led to the need for Borderline Personality Treatment in adulthood.

Genetics is another cause of Borderline Personality disorder. One can inherit BPD-related genes. We already understand that generics strongly associate with other mental health disorders among family members.

In addition, Brain abnormalities are also possible causes for Borderline Personality disorder. Based on research, BPD shows changes in some regions of the brain. These sections of the brain involve emotion regulation, impulsivity, and aggression. Brain chemicals that help regulate mood, such as serotonin, may not function properly.

Finally, environmental, cultural, and social factors where you might experience traumatic life events are contributors. These include abandonment or adversity during childhood, exposure to unstable invalidating relationships, and hostile conflicts.

If you notice signs or symptoms in a family member or friend, please do not hesitate to talk to a person about seeing a doctor or mental health provider. If your relationship causes significant stress, you may find it helpful to see a therapist yourself.

BPD Treatments and Therapies

Many people with the disorder experience fewer or less severe symptoms and improved quality of life. Most important, those with Borderline Personality disorder receive evidence-based, specialized treatment from an appropriately trained provider. It is wise to take caution that other BPD treatment programs by a doctor or therapist that are not appropriately trained may not benefit you. More likely to develop other chronic medical or mental illnesses and less likely to make healthy lifestyle choices. A borderline Personality disorder is also associated with a significantly higher rate of self-harm and suicidal behavior than the general public.

Borderline Personality treatment begins with psychotherapy, is the first line for these patients The very nature of borderline personality disorder can make it difficult for people with the disorder to maintain a comfortable and trusting bond with their therapist.

Examples of Psychotherapies Used to Treat BPD

Dialectical Behavior Therapy or DBT is the therapy developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder. DBT uses concepts of mindfulness and acceptance or being aware of and attentive to the current situation and emotional state. Dialectical Behavior Therapy also teaches skills that can help:

  • Control intense emotions
  • Reduce self-destructive behaviors
  • Improve relationships

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the types of therapy that can help people with borderline personality disorder identify and change core beliefs and behaviors that underlie inaccurate perceptions of themselves and others and problems interacting with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may help reduce mood and anxiety symptoms and reduce the number of suicidal or self-harming behaviors.
