Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental health disorder characterized by unstable moods, relationships, self-image, and behavior. People with BPD may experience distorted self-image, feelings of emptiness, anger, impulsiveness, mood swings, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. BPD often begins in adolescence or early adulthood and can continue for many years if not treated. While there is no single known cause of BPD, factors such as genetics, neurotransmitters, neurobiology, and environmental influences during development may play a role.
