What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline personality disorder is best characterized by impulsivity, pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, behavior, self-image and mood. It is a serious mental illness that usually begins in early adulthood.
Borderline personality disorder affects two percent of adults – mostly young women. It is often the cause of suicide attempts and accounts for 20 percent of psychiatric hospitalizations.
