Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder is in the category of personality
disorders and includes mostly women as it is a rarity for a man to have
borderline personality disorder. This disorder is characterized by the
changing feelings that women have of themselves. They are
unstable in their moods, behavior, and relations with others that are
often intense and violent. This instability in self-image leads to
frequent changes in jobs, goals, friendships, and values.
People with borderline personality disorder usually feel alone,
helpless, and hate themselves. Although they know about their
destructive behavior and feel badly about it, they have difficulty in
overcoming it.
There is no cure for this and people rarely seek treatment, but if
it becomes extremely troublesome, they should select a doctor who is
experienced in treating personality disorders and in cognitive
behavior. Drugs and psychiatric treatment will help control symptoms.
Regardless of the treatment selected, a healthy lifestyle of proper
nutrition and exercise will not only help this disorder but almost any
health condition. For more information on a healthy lifestyle, please
