Causes and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder

It’s hard to pinpoint the cause of this disorder, but experts suggest some people may be more vulnerable because of certain risk factors. Genetics play a big role, and having a family history of personality disorders makes you likely to receive the same diagnosis. Additionally, an altered brain structure, particularly in areas that control your impulses and emotions, impacts the likelihood of having a borderline personality disorder. 

Another risk factor is experiencing traumatic events during childhood. This includes abuse or neglect and unstable relationships that alter your psychological response. 

The primary symptom of this disorder is emotional dysregulation or an extreme emotional response that patients typically have a hard time controlling. Other symptoms include:

  • Impulsivity and reckless behavior
  • A warped self-image
  • Anger issues
  • Feeling empty or worthless
  • Thoughts of self-harm

All of these symptoms make it difficult to see yourself in a positive light or control your emotions. Such psychological habits may interfere with your ability to maintain relationships with others and can lead to self-isolation.

Available Treatment Options for Borderline Personality Disorder

While doctors may prescribe medications to reduce some symptoms of borderline personality disorder, the preferred treatment plan is talk therapy. At Inner Voyage Recovery Center, we focus on two types of therapy for patients with this disorder:

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A form of therapy specific to this disorder, DBT focuses on mindfulness and teaching patients they have the power to change their thinking patterns yet accept certain truths they cannot change. 
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Therapists challenge patients to reprogram their minds when negative perceptions arise. This ultimately helps reduce mood swings and gives patients a better sense of self-worth. 

If a borderline personality disorder diagnosis stems from a traumatic event, we can address the underlying issue and introduce coping mechanisms. A joint therapy program will also help those living with mental illness as well as substance abuse. Working with a dedicated therapist is the best way to overcome intrusive thoughts and emotional dysregulation.
