Please support the Australian BPD to continue our advocacy to ensure that everyone impacted by BPD can access the information, support and treatment they need in an environment of hope and optimism.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a common mental illness impacting at least 1% of the population.
BPD is a pattern of behaviours and symptoms that can be recognised by trained, experienced health professionals.
BPD is a mental illness where a person:
● struggles with a sense of self. It is hard for a person to feel comfortable in themselves and they often live with high levels of self-hatred, worthlessness, and hopelessness,
● experiences challenges in relationships,
● frequently experience high levels of distress and anger (may be internalised or externalised),
● experiences challenges in controlling their intense emotions and impulses,
● will often engage in self-harm behaviours and have thoughts of suicide.
BPD is a condition of the brain and mind. If someone has BPD, it is not their fault, and they did not cause it.
A diagnosis of BPD often results in much personal suffering, in addition to distress to their family, friends and colleagues and substantial medical and welfare costs.
