Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by patterns of intense emotions, unstable relationships, distorted self-image, and impulsive behavior. Individuals with BPD often experience life as a relentless emotional rollercoaster.
BPD is rooted in an inability to regulate emotions effectively, leading to significant distress and difficulty maintaining stability in work, family, and personal life. But recovery is the norm, not the exception, with effective, skills-based therapy.
At Moladav Health, we remind patients and families: The intensity you feel is real, but you can learn to manage it. Healing is possible.
BPD symptoms typically fall into four distinct categories:
(Intensity of feelings)
(Unstable relationships)
These symptoms are distressing, not manipulative. They require validation, compassion, and highly specialized skill training.
Borderline Personality Disorder is understood through the Biosocial Theory, where emotional sensitivity meets invalidating environments. Key factors include:
