Borderline Personality Disorder: Signs

Borderline personality disorder is a type of personality disorder in which a person experiences periods of tension, unstable mood and behavior, and an altered "sense of self."

For example, they may feel panicked or angry when someone significant to them cancels a meeting or is a couple of minutes late.

Personality disorders are long-term, unhealthy patterns of thoughts, emotions, and actions.

In addition, of all of them, the one that tends to be the most misunderstood is borderline personality disorder (BPD).

At what age does BPD appear

As early as 12 years of age, if symptoms persist for a year, a teenager can be diagnosed with BPD.

Symptoms reach their peak at the age of 18-19 years.

The inner world of a person with borderline disorder People are exhausted by a feeling of emptiness for a long time.
