Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex mental illness that is often misunderstood. BPD is characterised by unstable and varying moods, emotions and self-image. It often leads to volatile relationships and self-harm which can include suicide or suicidal ideation.<\/p>\n

With early diagnosis, appropriate treatment and support the prognosis for people with BPD is good. Having BPD is not a choice; it is a legitimate mental health issue. There are treatments available and people are likely to recover.<\/p>\n

Join MC, Professor Sharon Lawn, along with our team of experts to bust the stigma that is often attached to this debilitating and recoverable mental illness.<\/p>\n
