“…Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of emotion dysregulation, hyperâintensity affect, unstable interpersonal relationships, and impulsive behavior (Gunderson, Herpertz, Skodol, Torgersen, & Zanarini, 2018; Leichsenring, Leibing, Kruse, New, & Leweke, 2011), which is a common and serious psychiatric disorder with an estimated prevalence of 0.7â5.9% in the general population, 10% in psychiatric outpatients and 15â25% in inpatients (Gunderson et al, 2018; Leichsenring et al, 2011). Longâterm followâup research confirmed that it's more difficult for BPD patients to attain and maintain the sustained remissions and recoveries than patients with other personality disorders (Gunderson et al, 2011; Mou et al, 2018). BPD is also regularly comorbid with axis I and other axis II disorders, especially mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and disorders related to substance abuse (Leichsenring et al, 2011).…”
