Borderline Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that affects people’s
thoughts and feelings about themselves and others, compromising everyday normal functioning.
Surveys indicate that BPD affects approximately 1.6% of the general population and 20% of the
inpatient psychiatric population (Gunderson et al., 2018). Learning about BPD is vital because
this condition can be misdiagnosed, and understanding it prevents confusion about the disorder
with other personality disorders. It is also crucial due to the disorder’s ability to disrupt the lives
of the patients and those around them. Proper diagnosis, courtesy of prior knowledge of BPD,
facilitates early and appropriate treatment. Understanding BPD may also help address the
disorder-related challenges in the patient’s social life, preventing social isolation and issues such
as drug abuse. Moreover, education on BPD helps combat society’s inaccurate perceptions of the
disorder. Therefore, this paper evaluates the symptoms, causes, treatment, and prognosis of BPD,
including a personal reflection on the disorder.

dysregulation or instability (Southward & Cheavens, 2018). Not until recently has the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) renamed the condition as a Borderline
Type. Initially, clinicians and other medical practitioners referred to BPD as an Emotional
Regulation or Dysregulation Disorder (ERD, EDD) and Impulsive Personality Disorder (IPD).
Other names used by practitioners to date include Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder
(EUPD) and Emotional Intensity Disorder (EID) (Southward & Cheavens, 2018). Scientists
attribute this disorder to people’s inability to sustain interpersonal or social relationships, selfdevaluation, and inappropriate emotional reactions. Scientific research has attributed self-harm
