A member asked:
Does borderline personality disorder have anything to do with child hypersexuality?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Borderline personality disorder is a serious condition with symptoms including severe mood instability, chronic feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment and cutting or other self-harm behaviors. DBT with an experienced clinician with medications as adjuncts is very helpful. BPD probably has many causes, it is related to childhood sexual abuse in many cases but not hypersexuality.
