Abstract

Borderline Personality Disorder, also called BPD, is a mental illness that affects more than three million people in the world each year. The symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder are distorted self-image, feelings of isolation, boredom, and emptiness, mood swings that sometimes can be severe and sudden, feelings of anxiety, loss of interest in routine activities, suicidal thoughts, and delusion. The symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder make life very hard to live on a daily basis.

In this thesis, I will tell the history of Borderline Personality Disorder, explain the four subtypes of Borderline Personality Disorder, explain the criteria to be diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and how they affect everyday life and treatments for Borderline Personality Disorder. Even though Borderline Personality Disorder can not be cured it can be managed with therapy and medication. This will allow that person to live a normal life while having Borderline Personality Disorder.
