Borderline PD: Borderline personality disorder is the way one's personality is constructed. Those with bpd typically have unstalble inerpersonal relationships, unstable moods (ofthen feel depressed or "empty" inside), see things either "black or white", either "love or hate".They often engage in impulsive behaviors, including self-harm behaviors. The main treatment for bpd is dialectical behavioral therapy.
