Borderline personality disorder
personality disorder characterized by variability of moods and unstable relationships / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a long-term mental illness. It is a type of cluster B personality disorder. People diagnosed with it are often very impulsive, and generally have low self-esteem. Moods often change quickly. For these reasons, these people often have trouble keeping a stable relationship. Frequently, people with BPD also suffer from other conditions, such as clinical depression or they show self-harming behavior. Treating people with BPD is difficult, and is usually done using a combination of therapy and drugs.[3]
C.H.Huges used the term "Borderland", to describe a number of conditions bordering mental health issues. Adolf Stern described of some of the symptoms in 1938, and called them "border line group".[4] People showed both conditions related to psychosis, and related to neurosis, so the term was thought fitting, at the time.
