Picture

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a mental illness that makes it hard for a person to feel comfortable in themselves,

causes problems controlling emotions and impulses and causes problems relating to other people.

People with BPD experience high levels of distress and anger.


People with BPD can find everyday situations very upsetting.

Things that other people do or say can feel very hurtful.


BPD is a condition of the brain and mind. It is not the person’s fault and they did not cause it.


BPD is a treatable condition and most people with BPD can recover.


Overcoming emotional problems, finding more purpose in life, and building better relationships are many people’s main goals for their treatment.


BPD is treated with psychological treatments (talking therapies). These usually involve talking with a health professional one-to one, or sometimes attending special groups.


Psychological treatment for BPD should be well-organised and pre-planned (structured), designed for people with BPD, and given by a health professional who is properly trained and supervised.


Medication is not recommended as a person’s main treatment for BPD, but may be helpful to manage particular symptoms.


We offer both one to one and groups at Murdoch Psychiatry.
Please watch this video for further information about borderline personality disorder.
