“…A number of studies indicate that many patients with major depression have concomitant personality disorders-even in outpatient settings [68][69][70]. Moreover, depressed patients with borderline personality disorder generally fare less well in treatment than depressed patients without borderline personality [71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78]. Similarly, pharmacological studies have found differences in medication response between borderline and non-borderline depressives [23,[79][80][81][82], with borderline depressives being less responsive to medications and sometimes even having a paradoxical effect [83,84].…”

We investigate the quality of dependent and self-critical depressive experiences in a hospitalized sample of depressed (n = 17), depressed borderline (n = 29), and borderline non-depressed inpatients (n = 10). Subjects were administered structured diagnostic interviews for axis I and axis II along with the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised Depression Scale (SCL-90-R-DS) and the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ). As predicted, there were no differences between the three groups in overall level of impairment or severity of depression. Phenomenologically, however, depressive experiences were quite different. Subjects with borderline personality disorder, with and without a diagnosed depressive disorder, scored higher than subjects with depression only on the measure of anaclitic neediness. Further analyses revealed that anaclitic neediness was significantly associated with interpersonal distress, self-destructive behaviors, and impulsivity. Findings suggest the importance of considering phenomenological aspects of depression in borderline pathology.

“…Patients with a borderline PD have more intense panic attacks, and they also attract a lot more attention and concern from other people. It is also regarded as the single PD with the poorest prognosis for a successful treatment of a panic attack disorder (Nurnberg et al, 1989).…”

“…These investigations have indicated that patients who have anxiety disorders and PDs tend to have poor outcomes (Nurnberg et al, 1989;Perry, 1993;Reich & Green, 1991;Steketee, Eisen, Dyck, Warshaw, & Rasmussen, 1999;Turner, 1987;Yonkers, Dyck, Warshaw, & Keller, 2000). However, most of these studies have used a sample of modest size, a relatively brief follow-up interval (typically one year or less), or have focused on a limited range of PDs.…”
