Get treatment for BPD
Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder may struggle in many avenues of life. Some of the primary challenges they experience are unstable and intense relationships and difficulty managing mood, both often occurring due to fear of abandonment and negative or unclear self-image. Destructive or risky behaviours are also common due to impulsivity, feelings of anger, and/or mood swings. Other common symptoms of BPD may include:
- Self-injurious behaviours
- Suicidal ideation or attempts
- Feelings of emptiness
Individuals with BPD may experience other mental health conditions or symptoms, such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
- Eating Disorders
- Substance Use Disorders
