Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), also known as Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), is a mental health condition that affects how a person experiences and manages emotions, relationships and their sense of self. People with BPD may experience intense emotions that can change quickly, alongside difficulties with relationships, self-image and impulse control. While many people experience emotional ups and downs at times, BPD is different because these patterns can be more persistent, overwhelming and have a significant impact on daily life.
In our clinic, we often see that BPD develops from a combination of factors. These can include early life experiences, trauma, attachment difficulties, temperament and biological influences. There is rarely a single cause, and these difficulties are not a reflection of personal weakness.
With the right support, people with BPD can develop greater emotional stability, stronger relationships and a clearer sense of self.
