What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental disorder characterized by unstable emotions, unstable relationships, intense mood swings and emotional instability.
The symptoms of BPD are very similar to those of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD), which is another mental disorder that affects more than 4% of the population in the world.
Like ASPD, BPD can be caused by a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. The major difference between these disorders is that ASPD starts with a characteristic childhood trauma that triggers the disorder; however, BPD does not begin with any trauma and is usually caused by an underlying medical condition.
