Borderline Personality Disorder: Interface with Mood and Other Axis I Disorders
نویسنده
چکیده
The definition of borderline personality disorder has evolved since it was first described more than 60 years ago. It currently is recognized as a disorder within the mood disorder spectrum, rather than a forme fruste of subschizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. The disease affects 1% to 2% of the general population, and there is extensive comorbidity with Axis I disorders. Recent evidence suggests there is a strong genetic component to the disease, which is characterized by mood instability, impulsivity, and poor self-image. Psychotherapy is the main method of treatment, but pharmacologic intervention is being increasingly recognized as having an important role in controlling the symptoms.
