Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — Borderline personality disorder is a mental illness that severely affects a person’s ability to manage their emotions. Loss of emotional control can lead to increased impulsiveness, affecting how a person feels regarding themselves, and negatively affecting their relationships with others.
These abnormal changes in feelings can lead people to tense, unstable relationships, and severe emotional problems.
Despite the widespread recognition of the inability of people to maintain stable relationships with BPD, there is little empirical evidence regarding the nature of this instability and how it manifests itself over time.
In a study conducted by the National Center for Biotechnology Information in America regarding the stability of social relationships for women diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and evaluating the main features of relationships (satisfaction, support, closeness, conflict, and criticism) over a period of 6 months, the results showed that women diagnosed with borderline personality disorder suffer from Greater instability in their social relationships compared to the group of healthy individuals.
The World Health Organization states that BPD is associated with a significant level of personal distress and social distress; It usually appears from childhood or adolescence, and continues throughout adulthood.
The National Institute of Mental Health in America classified some other characteristics of patients with borderline personality disorder, and symptoms of borderline personality may include:
Seeing things in extremes: For example, people with BPD tend to see everything as good or everything as bad. Their interests and values can change quickly, and they may act impulsively. Fear of abandonment and loss of relationships, and the impulse to build and end relationships at the same speed. A pattern of unstable relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Distorted and unstable self-image. Impulsive and often risky behaviors, such as heavy spending, reckless driving, and binge eating. Frequent or threatened suicidal thoughts. Emotions fluctuate greatly and severely. Problems regulating or controlling anger.
Not all people with BPD will have all of these symptoms. The severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms depend on the person and the degree of the disease.
