People affected by this disorder tend to show: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Difficulties in regulating their emotions and thoughts.<\/li>\n<li>Impulsive and reckless behaviors, which may include self-harm and suicide attempts, along with difficulties in maintaining stable, goal-directed behaviors.<\/li>\n<li>They establish unstable relationships with others.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first symptoms may appear during adolescence (a key stage in personality development) or in early adulthood. Diagnosis is complex because it often occurs in combination with other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, attention deficit disorders, or substance addiction. <\/p>\n<p>It is estimated to affect between 1% and 2% of the general population and may account for up to 10% of psychiatric diagnoses.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is considered a serious mental disorder, it can be effectively treated with specific therapies, achieving satisfactory results and enabling affected individuals to lead more stable lives. Today, there are different therapeutic approaches, and active research continues to develop new treatments that can further support recovery from these conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_medium\"><div class=\"l-section-overlay\" style=\"background:var(--color-header-middle-text)\"><\/div><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1-2 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-image us_custom_6d6e167f has_ratio align_right has_bg_color\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><div style=\"padding-bottom:100%\"><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gruptlpbarcelona.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ORIENTA_LauraSoriano-5593-683x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Grup-TLP Barcelona\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Grup-TLP Barcelona\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"w-vwrapper align_left valign_top\" style=\"--vwrapper-gap:0.3rem\"><div class=\"w-iconbox us_custom_f0fd953a has_text_color iconpos_left style_default color_custom align_left no_text\"><div class=\"w-iconbox-icon\" style=\"font-size:18px;--icon-color:#a90079;\"><i class=\"fas fa-megaphone\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"w-iconbox-meta\"><h4 class=\"w-iconbox-title\" style=\"font-size:16px;\">TRAINING FOR MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS<\/h4><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>Meetings with the expert, monographic sessions, and seminars<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p><span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Would you like to delve deeper into current issues on<\/span> <span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)<\/span> <span class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\">with leading expert professionals?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gruptlpbarcelona.org\/formacio\/\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">VIEW ALL TRAININGS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious and chronic mental illness, characterized by instability in mood, behaviors, and interpersonal relationships, leading to difficulties in many areas of life (educational\/work, emotional, relational, and family).
