No: If you mean borderline personality disorder, it does not lead to schizophrenia. The 2 are completely different illnesses -- schizophrenia leads to long-term thought disorder and psychotic symptoms. If by chance your acronym refers to bipolar disorder, this differs from schizophrenia also. But having both episodes of depression & mania, plus ongoing psychotic symptoms = schizoaffective d/o.

Different Processes: Strictly speaking, they are different processes. But one can experience symptoms that are suggestive of both disorders. To get a better idea of what is going on and how to determine what diagnosis best fits, it is best to talk to a mental health professional who treats serious disorders. A complete and accurate history of the mh symptoms and life history will be important in clarifying things.
