Jennifer Schneider, Ph.D., coordinator of the Eating Disorders Program at Clearview Treatment Programs in Los Angeles, discusses how the symptoms of BPD overlap with those of an eating disorder.

It is usually clear whether a person has Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or Bipolar Disorder, but due to the similarity in symptoms between the two disorders, misdiagnosis is common.

You may be engaging in self-injurious behaviors as a way to deal with trauma, gain control over your body, or as a symptom of a personality disorder such as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has been shown to be highly effective in treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and is an essential component in any successful BPD treatment program.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental illness that is often difficult to diagnose because it generally co-occurs with other disorders. These other disorders can mask the symptoms of BPD, often leaving the underlying BPD untreated.
