personality disorder is a personality disorder that can disrupt a person\u2019s thoughts and emotions, as well as the way they behave. Due to the intensity of the emotions they feel, it can generally be more difficult for people with BPD to cope and function.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The intense emotions can make them distressed and angry. They have trouble with relationships and can have a distorted view of themselves and the world. In addition, they can often act impulsively or harm themselves to handle these feelings.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Borderline personality disorder can be one of the more misunderstood conditions. However, it is quite common, present in around 2% of the population. It occurs mostly in women and symptoms generally start to show in teenage years to early adulthood. BPD is diagnosed after age 18.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-95542c8 elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"95542c8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bc5d44\" data-id=\"8bc5d44\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e8c905e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e8c905e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">BPD Symptoms<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8e3caab elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8e3caab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7115d64\" data-id=\"7115d64\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dc501e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0dc501e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a variety of symptoms of borderline personality disorder.

However, it appears to be a personality disorder with more heritability than the others.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental factors such as upbringing have been thought to play a large role in the disorder. For example <a href=\"https:\/\/howarthpsychologicalservices.com.au\/trauma-counselling\/\">trauma<\/a>, abuse and neglect in early development is thought to be a large factor. In fact 80% of people who suffer from BPD experience trauma in early life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another additional cause has been attributed to a combination of those with a neurotic temperament (proneness to negative emotion) and their emotions not being validated by their parents. For example, their emotions and feelings weren\u2019t acknowledged or recognised when they were young in moments when they needed them to be in order to feel safe and calm.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By and large, however, there are many unknown factors.
