Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pattern of instability in one's mood, self-image, behavior, and relationships. Individuals with BPD often experience intense and rapidly changing emotions, have difficulties regulating their emotions, and struggle with a persistent fear of abandonment. They might engage in impulsive and risky behaviors, have unstable relationships, and experience feelings of emptiness.

Other common symptoms include identity disturbances, recurrent suicidal behavior or self-harming tendencies, and sudden shifts in their views of others, alternating between idealization and devaluation. It's a complex disorder that can significantly impact an individual's life and their interactions with others. Treatment often involves psychotherapy, sometimes complemented by medications to address specific symptoms.
