BPD Planet.com is designed to spread awareness of Borderline Personality Disorder and related mental health issues.
BPD is a serious mental illness affecting its victims ability to fully control their impulses and/or emotions.
According to research, “the disorder typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, extreme ‘black and white’ thinking, or ‘splitting,’ chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior, as well as a disturbance in the individual’s sense of self.”
No one really knows what causes BPD, however most studies have found that many patients have histories of childhood trauma, including abandonment and sexual abuse.
Although only a small percentage of people have been diagnosed with BPD, researchers believe that the disorder is more widespread than statistics show.
Women are three times more likely to suffer from BPD.
