Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline patients suffer from volatility of emotion. They do not like to be considered as simply another patient. They seek attention, care, responsiveness, and not from the person who is with preoccupied with their problems or with his mind elsewhere.

Borderline patients usually suffered symptoms such as anxiety and depression, and these symptoms can be rapidly replaced by angers. Their clarify of mind can be replaced by bewilderment and fragile grip of reality. They are unable to distinguish between the reality and the assumption state of mind. Therefore, they can be provoked easily. Very often, they have to tackle a problem head-on instead of reflecting the problem elsewhere on the problem which may produce a solution of the problem, and it may also reduce the emotion volatility.
