What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), sometimes referred to as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), is a mental health condition characterised by difficulties managing emotions, maintaining stable relationships and coping with distress.
Individuals with BPD often experience emotions more intensely than others and may find it challenging to regulate these feelings. Symptoms can vary significantly from person to person, and many individuals experience periods where symptoms become more manageable with appropriate support.
Common features of BPD/EUPD may include:
- Intense and rapidly changing emotions
- Fear of abandonment or rejection
- Difficulties maintaining stable relationships
- Impulsive behaviours
- Feelings of emptiness
- Low self-esteem or unstable self-image
- Emotional sensitivity
- Difficulties managing anger or distress
BPD is a treatable condition, and many individuals experience significant improvements with specialist support and evidence-based treatment.
