1. Borderline Personality Disorder
Treatment in India
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition that affects the way people feel
about themselves and others, making it hard to function in everyday life. It is also known as
a BPD, emotional dysregulation disorder, characterized by marked impulsivity, emotional
dysregulation, extreme mood swings, and issues with interpersonal relationships. People
with BPD have a higher risk of self-harming themselves and suicidal ideation to execution.
In BPD, the biggest fear people have is fear of abandonment even after having a loving and
nurturing surrounding. BPD starts in the late teenage years and is at its peak in early
adulthood. Later in life, issues with emotional regulation and impulsiveness often get better
but the fear of being abandoned and self-image issues stay. Diagnosis for borderline is done
based on the symptoms and their severity. Any licensed clinical psychologist in India can
diagnose borderline disorder based on the symptoms criterion as per DSM-5.
Symptoms
There are a few predominant Borderline symptoms which include:
 Ongoing feelings of loneliness.
 A deep-seated fear of being abandoned leads to extreme actions and measures to
avoid being separated or rejected.
 A pattern of extreme trust to no trust in relationships is very common.
 Quick changes in self-identity, including shifting goals and values, and fluctuating
between overconfidence and underconfidence.
 Engaging in impulsive and intense risky behaviors, such as gambling, reckless
driving, unsafe sex, excessive shopping, binge eating, drug misuse, or intentionally
sabotaging jobs and relationships.
 Threats of suicide or self-harm, often in response to fears of separation or rejection.
 Anger is not a typical symptom of Borderline disorder. However, people with
Borderline disorder due to high and mixed emotions experience anger outbursts.
 People with borderline personality disorder also at times are in toxic and abusive
relationships only because of high interpersonal issues.

2. Causes of Borderline Disorder
 Childhood abuse and trauma are significant factors contributing to Borderline
Personality Disorder (BPD). Research suggests that up to 70% of individuals with
borderline personality in India have a history of sexual, emotional, or physical abuse
during their upbringing.
 Maternal separation, inappropriate family boundaries, dysfunctional family,
invalidation, and avoidance during early years, as well as parental substance abuse,
are also linked to BPD.
 Additionally, genetics play a role, as having a family history of BPD increases the risk
of developing the condition, although it is not a guarantee.
Treatment
 Effective treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder in India requires patience and
commitment.
 Treatment typically involves a combination of psychotherapy (talk therapy),
medication, or both.
 Psychotherapy helps individuals understand their behavioral patterns and develop
coping skills to manage their emotions.
 Dialectical behavioural therapy is the most effective treatment for borderline
personality disorder in India. It has majorly 4 components:
 core mindfulness,
 distress tolerance,
 emotion regulation,
 and interpersonal effectiveness.

3.  The therapist also addresses other mental health conditions such as depression,
anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse.
 Therapy plays a crucial role in reducing impulsivity and guiding individuals with BPD
to make more considered decisions.
 Additionally, for all individuals with borderline personality disorder treatment varies
based on their need and willingness.
