Main Digest

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, BPD is a "serious mental illness marked by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships."

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined as a personality disorder primarily characterized by emotional dysregulation, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting", and chaotic relationships. The general profile of the disorder also typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior.

Added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders, Third Edition (DSM-III) in 1980, the disease is marked by symptoms such as problems with regulating emotions and thoughts, impulsive and reckless behavior and unstable relationships with other people.

By following the wisdom of the Meehl Foundation's book, those who have been diagnosed with BPD will be learn to push past triggers that once put them out of their emotional minds; eliminate self-doubt, uncertainty and indecisiveness; change irrational beliefs about people's motives toward them; take control with calm and confidence; feel more comfortable and relaxed in social situations; achieve life goals and much more.
