Understanding the Program
What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Although borderline personality disorder affects only 2% of adults, more than 75% of those diagnosed are women. BPD is typically diagnosed in young adulthood when it is usually at its most severe. Therapy is quite effective in treating BPD patients and helping them to lead successful lives.
Borderline personality disorder typically impacts a person’s sense of identity and therefore individuals with BPD exhibit some or all of the following symptoms.
The causes of borderline personality disorder are not known, as with most other mental health disorders.
Genetics are suggested as one possible cause of BPD, where individuals with a family history of borderline personality disorder are more prone to be diagnosed with BPD.

You don't have to face borderline personality disorder alone — compassionate, evidence-based care can help you regain stability and hope.
