What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by intense emotional reactions, difficulty regulating mood, fear of abandonment, unstable relationships, impulsive behaviors, and chronic feelings of emptiness. These patterns often begin in adolescence or young adulthood, and without support, they can lead to self-harm, frequent interpersonal conflict, and even suicidal thoughts.
Common Signs of BPD Include:
- Fear of abandonment and frantic efforts to avoid it.
- Unstable or stormy relationships.
- Shifting self-image and identity confusion.
- Impulsive behaviors (spending, substance use, risky sex, binge eating).
- Recurrent suicidal thoughts or self-injury.
- Intense emotional swings (e.g., rage, shame, anxiety).
- Persistent feelings of emptiness.
- Paranoia or dissociation, especially during stress.
BPD frequently co-occurs with other mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use, or eating disorders.
Our Approach to Treating Borderline Personality Disorder
NY Mental Health Center provides a comprehensive, evidence-based approach tailored to each client’s needs and goals. Treatment typically includes:
1. Accurate Diagnosis and Comprehensive Evaluation
BPD can be difficult to identify and is often misdiagnosed. Our experienced clinicians conduct thorough assessments using DSM-5 criteria, detailed history taking, and compassionate conversation to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
2. Specialized Psychotherapy
We offer modalities proven to be effective for BPD, including:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps reframe harmful thoughts and build more adaptive coping skills.
- Schema Therapy: Addresses long-standing emotional patterns and core beliefs rooted in early experiences.
3. Psychiatric Support and Medication Management
While no medication is specifically approved for BPD, psychiatric medications can help stabilize mood, reduce anxiety, and manage co-occurring conditions. Our psychiatrists work closely with your therapist to ensure a coordinated, responsive approach to your care.
4. Long-Term Support and Crisis Planning
Recovery from BPD is a journey. We provide consistent, long-term care focused on safety, emotional regulation, and building a strong sense of self. We also help clients create clear, compassionate crisis plans to prevent relapse and promote resilience.
