What is definition of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in Mental Health Conditions?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent patterns of unstable mood, self-image, behavior, and interpersonal relationships. Individuals with BPD often experience intense emotional turmoil, chronic feelings of emptiness, impulsivity, and difficulty managing anger. They may also struggle with a fear of abandonment, identity disturbances, and engage in self-destructive behaviors such as self-harm or substance abuse. BPD can significantly impact an individual’s functioning and quality of life, as well as their ability to establish and maintain stable relationships.
