What is the simplest way to define a person with borderline personality disorder?

DBT Can Help: The simplest way to define a person with borderline personality disorder is as "a person." A personality disorder is a hardship for that person and causes distress. No one is simple. There's a great deal of complexity to a person, and the development of any personality disorder is due to many factors. People with bpd benefit from respect and love like anyone else. A therapy called dbt can help.

Stably unstable: A person with borderline personality disorder shows a pervasive pattern of unstable relationships, mood, and identity throughout adult life.

Borderline: Impulsive, can't tolerate abandonment, identity disturbance, distorted self-image, repeated self harm, intense anger, chronic feelings of emptiness, dissociation or paranoea for brief periods.

Borderline: Intense fear of abandonment, being manipulative, impulsivity, a tendency to think of people and things in all good or all bad terms, self mutilating behaviors, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual impulsivity, a profoundly disturb sense of self, and extreme emotional volatility.

A human being.: The simplest way is to say a human being with problems in living and relating, and like all humans, in need of understanding, connectedness, and joy in life. A person with strengths, and weakness, with parts that work well, and parts not so strong, like all the other humans on the planet. A person with potential, and a person with dreams, and perhaps a story that bears telling.
