Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder and How No Fear Counselling Can Help

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that affects a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It is often misunderstood and can be challenging to diagnose, but with the right support, people with BPD can manage their symptoms and live fulfilling lives. At No Fear Counselling, we offer compassionate, personalized support for individuals with BPD.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?

Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by a pattern of intense and unstable emotions, self-image, and relationships. People with BPD may experience extreme mood swings, engage in impulsive and risky behaviours, and have difficulty regulating their emotions. They may also struggle with self-worth, identity, and maintaining stable relationships.

The Impact of Borderline Personality Disorder

BPD can have a significant impact on an individual's life, leading to:

• Self-harm and suicidal thoughts or behaviours
• Difficulty in relationships, including friendships, romantic relationships, and family relationships
• Difficulty in work or school performance
• Substance abuse and addiction
• Increased risk of other mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety

Did you know that:

• Borderline Personality Disorder affects an estimated 1.6% of the U.S. population? (Source: National Institute of Mental Health)
• Up to 75% of people with BPD will engage in self-harm during their lifetime? (Source: National Alliance on Mental Illness)
