Do you recognise these symptoms?
Did you know it was Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Awareness Week from 1-7 October 2015?
Between 2% and 5% of Australians, that’s 440,000 to 1,100,000 individuals are affected by BPD at some stage in their lives.
Symptoms for people with this illness include emotional distress, self-harm, difficulty relating to others and the world around them. This can be very distressing for the person and for people close to them.
The symptoms of the disorder usually first appear in mid to late teens or in early adulthood, with women three times more likely to be diagnosed with BPD than men.
Contrary to common belief, people with BPD can recover! With early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and support the prognosis for people with BPD is positive.
