Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by significant emotional instability, difficulty maintaining stable relationships, and a poor self-image. People with BPD may experience intense mood swings, fear of abandonment, and impulsive behaviors that can lead to self-destructive actions. These individuals may struggle to regulate their emotions and often feel misunderstood or disconnected from others.
