ABSTRACT
Borderline personality disorder (BPD), is a mental illness that impacts a person’s ability to control their emotions. This breakdown in emotional regulation can make a person more impulsive, have a negative impact on how they feel about themselves, and damage their relationships with other people. Patients who are impacted frequently engage in self-harm and other risky behaviors because they find it difficult to bring their mental state back to a healthy or normal baseline. They might also suffer with disconnection from reality, a sense of emptiness, and a dread of abandonment. BPD often starts during early adulthood and manifests itself in a range of circumstances. BPD affects 1.6% of individuals annually, with some estimates going as high as 6%. About three times as many women than men are diagnosed. With age, the illness seems to become less prevalent. Over the course of ten years, up to 50% of people with BPD get better. The case report's detailed content is listed below.
