In addition to self-image issues, difficulty controlling emotions and behavior, and a history of unstable relationships, borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that affects how we think and feel about ourselves and others, making it difficult to function in daily life.
Even though we want to have loving and long-lasting relationships, inappropriate anger, impulsiveness, and frequent mood swings may drive people away. People with borderline personality disorder may struggle to tolerate being alone and experience intense fear of abandonment or instability.
Early adulthood is typically the onset of borderline personality disorder, which seems to get worse in young adulthood and may get better gradually as people age.
Don’t be disheartened if you or someone you know has borderline personality disorder; many of them can learn to live happy, fulfilling lives with the help of therapy.
CAUSES OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
The causes of borderline personality disorder, like those of other mental health conditions, aren’t fully understood, but they may include environmental factors like a history of child abuse or neglect, as well as genetic factors like:
- Genetics: Twin and family studies have shown that personality disorders may run in families and that they are frequently inherited or closely related to other mental health issues.
- Brain abnormalities: Studies have revealed changes in specific regions of the brain related to emotion control, impulsivity, and aggression, as well as possible dysfunction of serotonin and other brain chemicals involved in mood regulation.
SYMPTOMS OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
Our relationships with others, how we view ourselves, and how we behave are all impacted by borderline personality disorder.
