The last two Psyche Saturdays we took a look into two of the four Cluster B personality disorders, Antisocial Personality Disorder and Histrionic Personality Disorder. In today’s episode, we continue with this cluster, and look at one of the most talked about, but misunderstood personality disorders: Borderline Personality Disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder is essentially an identity crisis. Those suffering from BPD don’t quite know who they are at times and thus, it can manifest into unhealthy behaviors.
