Borderline Personality Disorder
FACT:
• The term “borderline” imparts no relevant information about the diagnosis
• It was developed in the early 1900’s when a psychiatrist realized that BPD did not fit into the oversimplified way of categorizing mental illness at the time -either as neurotic or psychotic.
• BPD was thought to be on the “borderline”.
• There is currently a move to have the name changed to something similar to Emotional Processing Disorder, Emotional Regulation Disorder or Emotional Intensity Disorder
