Borderline Personality Disorder
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition marked by instability in emotions, self-image, and relationships with others. Those who live with it often experience intense mood changes and difficulty regulating their reactions.
How it can show up: fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, impulsivity, a feeling of emptiness, and emotions that change rapidly.
When to seek support? When these experiences cause suffering, affect personal bonds or everyday functioning, or when thoughts appear that put well-being at risk.
Who to turn to? The psychiatrist, and for adolescents the child psychiatrist, are the professionals who evaluate and support this condition. Talking with one of them can be a helpful first step toward understanding what is happening and receiving appropriate guidance.
