What is Borderline Personality Disorder?

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 1.4% of adults in the U.S. have the Cluster B personality disorder called borderline personality disorder (BPD). Borderline personality disorder is a diagnosable mental health disorder characterized by a host of symptoms that include mood swings, poor self-esteem, angry outbursts, and difficulty having relationships. The individual often feels out of control and isn’t able to see their own unhealthy actions and reactions clearly.

The symptoms impact their thoughts, emotions, and actions in negative ways. BPD is not curable, but the symptoms can be managed if the person attends a quality licensed program that treats this disorder.
