About this event<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

The Lived Experience of Men with BPD – flipping the common misconception that BPD is predominantly a female condition and encouraging clinicians to be aware that BPD presents in men in similar proportions to women. The focus of BPD Awareness Week 2020 is on self-stigma and encouraging people to change the way they think and speak about borderline personality disorder.<\/p>\n
