Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by intense emotions, unstable relationships, and a distorted self-image. People with BPD often experience rapid mood swings and may struggle with feelings of emptiness or fear of abandonment. These symptoms can lead to impulsive behaviors and difficulties in maintaining stable relationships.
Treatment for BPD typically includes therapy, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which helps individuals develop coping skills and emotional regulation. Medications may also be prescribed to manage specific symptoms, but therapy remains the primary approach for addressing the underlying issues associated with the disorder.
