What is BPD?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a serious mental health condition that affects how people think, feel, and connect with others. Often misunderstood, it touches millions of lives worldwide, impacting individuals as well as entire families and communities.

Common Features of BPD

  • Intense, rapidly changing emotions
  • Challenges in relationships and trust
  • Deep fear of abandonment
  • Impulsivity or self-harming behaviors
  • Difficulty coping with stress and anger

The Truth About BPD

  • More common than schizophrenia and bipolar disorder combined
  • Affects an estimated 1.6% of adults in the U.S.
  • Ripple effects extend to 5 to 7% of families nationwide
  • Scientists agree that BPD develops through a transactional process, in which inborn emotional vulnerabilities interact over time with environmental experiences (such as stress or invalidation), with no single cause or pathway explaining the disorder for everyone.
