Psychiatry
In brief: Personality disorder
Borderline personality is a lifelong, pervasive personality disorder with deficits such as an unstable sense of self, unstable affect, hard to manage emotions with large swings, with high reactivity and difficulty maintaining an even internal state.
Although exact causes are unknown, treatment is best from a team using dialectical behavioral therapy (dbt).

In brief: Many different types
Borderline personality disorder (bpd) originally described people who hover on the border between psychosis (loss of reality testing) and neurosis (conflicts around sex, guilt, anger, etc.
). Currently, bpd is considered a heterogeneous disorder--possibly genetically related to bipolar disorder--characterized by impulsivity, volatile moods, stormy relationships, suicidal gestures... (see dsm iv).
