Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by fear of abandonment, mood swings, and unstable relationships. These symptoms result in social issues and distress, so specialized care is essential to manage the condition and improve quality of life. Bournewood Health Systems offers evidence-based, person-centered BPD treatment in a caring, stigma-free environment.
BPD is categorized as a Cluster B personality disorder. Key symptoms include mood instability, impulsive behaviors, distorted self-image, difficulty maintaining stable relationships, and stress-related paranoia or dissociation. While BPD can affect people of all genders, over 70% of people diagnosed with the condition in the United States are women. The impact of the condition may include difficulties maintaining interpersonal relationships, self-harm, and depression.
