“…Significant others are inevitably an additional source of emotional support as family members or friends cannot usually fulfill all their emotional needs. These special people usually include seniors at university, professors, or even health care providers [ 67 , 68 ], who are especially sought out when individuals with high-level BPDS experience more severe depression or suicidality. Of all the personality disorders, it is evident that individuals with borderline personality disorder predominantly seek help for their major depression [ 17 , 69 , 70 ].…”

Background: While perceived social support can mediate the relationship between perceived stress and depression, little is known about the differences between individuals with high and low borderline personality disorder symptoms (BPDS). This study aimed to investigate the associations among perceived stress, perceived social support, and depression, and compare low and high levels of BPDS. Methods. This cross-sectional analysis was a secondary analysis of data from the SI-Bord study. University students across Thailand completed a screening instrument for borderline personality disorder, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Revised Thai Multi-dimensional Scales of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Patient-Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9. Mediation analysis using PROCESS was applied to test the direct and indirect effects of perceived stress on depression. Multigroup mediational analysis was adopted to compare low and high levels of BPDS. Results. The mean age of the 330 participants was 20.27 (SD, 1.4) and 80% were female. Significant correlations were observed between the PSS, MSPSS, and PHQ scores, with greater magnitude among the high-level BPDS group (p < 0.001). A significant direct effect on perceived stress and a significant indirect effect on depression through perceived social support were noted. Of all the sources of social support, only the significant others variable significantly differed between the two groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Perception of social support had a significant mediating role in perceived stress and depression. The magnitude of associations was remarkably high for individuals with high BPDS compared to those with low BPDS. Unlike those with low BPDS, all sources of social support were significant mediators between the two groups.

Antipsychotic medications are widely prescribed by advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs), to treat a range of presentations. They are licensed for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. They are also widely used off-license as anxiolytics, as well as to help manage presenting symptoms of borderline personality. These drugs are associated with prolonged QT interval, which is a risk factor for the ventricular tachyarrhythmia, torsades de pointes (TdP), which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Although TdP is rare, this review examines the condition and discusses the importance of assessing the physical, pharmacological and psychiatric risks prior to prescribing antipsychotic medications.
