Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by pervasive patterns of instability in mood, self-image, and interpersonal relationships, as well as marked impulsivity. Fear of abandonment and chronic feelings of emptiness further compound the complexity of this disorder. Individuals with BPD often experience intense and rapidly shifting emotions, have difficulty regulating their emotions, and engage in impulsive behavior, including recurrent self-harm and suicidality. BPD impacts an individual’s interpersonal and occupational functioning, and people with BPD are high utilizers of health care and are challenging to treat. Some develop transient psychotic symptoms.This course discussion focuses on 3 significant areas: the diagnosis of BPD, the pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic treatment of BPD, and the importance of an interdisciplinary team in managing patients with BPD. People with BPD may have comorbidities, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and substance use disorders, posing additional diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This activity empowers healthcare professionals by equipping them with the necessary knowledge and tools to provide optimal patient care for those individuals with BPD.
