Research on the Borderline Personality Disorder and Treatment

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe psychological disorder that can cause a great deal of distress if left untreated. This paper describes the symptom and cause of the BPD and then identifies barriers to access to critical resources for BPD support and treatment services from the perspective of individuals seeking care. There is a growing number of effective forms of lower-intensity treatment for BPD, offering hope for improving the standard of care in general for these complex patients.
