Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by intense emotional instability, fears of abandonment, and impulsive behaviors. People with BPD may experience rapid mood swings, difficulties in maintaining stable relationships, and a persistent sense of emptiness. They often struggle with self-identity and may have a distorted self-image. These symptoms can lead to significant distress and challenges in daily life but are manageable with therapy, medication, and support. Understanding and compassion are essential, as BPD reflects underlying emotional struggles rather than character flaws.
