Borderline Personality Disorder and Psychiatric Care
Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric disorder as well as a common one. The disorder is linked to extensive psychiatric care and psychosocial problems. Individuals with borderline personality disorder have negative opinions and erroneous impressions of themselves, as well as feelings of self-worth. Individuals may experience thoughts of poor self-worth and may rapidly become embroiled in a dispute with others. Individuals might be impetuous and moody at times (Rizeanu, 2016). A number of risk factors contribute to the illness.
Development of Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder develops as a result of childhood trauma and experiences. The research provide evidence-based information on how the illness develops from the intricacies of childhood psychopathology. Although the specific link between specific types of trauma and the resulting outcomes in adulthood are inconsistent, The recent studies have established that the mechanisms of development of the childhood disorders may be related to the beginning of borderline personality disorder during the adulthood stages. The condition is caused by a complex web of interrelated factors such as personality traits that are inherited from the parents, trauma characteristics, and dissociation between childhood disorders and borderline personality disorder. The strongest recommendation by the researchers is assessing the transdiagnostic factors in borderline personality disorder (Macintosh et al., 2015)
Gender Differences in Borderline Personality Disorder
One of the risk factors for the borderline personality disorder. The difference in gender is potentially important and relevant since it guides the clinicians in assessing and treating the patient. Up to now, some clinical characteristics causing the condition have been examined to result from the gender differences. Regarding the prevalence of the health condition, earlier studies have established that there a significant number of women suffer than men in borderline personality disorder despite recent research failing to establish if there is a link between gender differences and borderline personality disorder. While considering self-harm behaviors, there can be lack of the health condition. Current evidence reveals that there is gender differences that about personality characteristics in an individual. Men with the health condition are likely to demonstrate high tempers compared to women with the same personality trait. Compared to women, men with borderline personality disorder are likely to be involved in substance abuse (Latalova, 2010). Men suffering from the condition are more likely to be evidenced by excessive eating, mood changes, post-traumatic changes and post-traumatic stress disorders. The men are also characterized by antisocial behaviors (Randy & Lori, 2011).
The Impact of Emotions on Interpersonal Relationships
In the recent years, the research has indicated that emotions also contribute to building the interpersonal relationships. The persons suffering from borderline personality disorder have difficult moments in interpersonal relationships and so are characterized by intense emotions (Standish et al., 2014). Upon the investigation of borderline personality disorder characterizes in suggesting sensitivity to emotions. People with borderline personality disorder show exceptional difficulty to be in any relationship with because they are always unstable. The individuals with BPD usually need self-belonging for closeness since they always show a pattern of unpredictable behavior. To the individuals with this condition in their point of view, life is characterized by events that are full of inner turmoil and uncertainty. Theories that led to borderline personality disorder are based on the early life experiences and to be more specific, the earliest stages of interacting with a caregiver.
Self Regulation and Borderline Personality Disorder
Self regulation has been examined as a possible cause of borderline personality disorder. It refers to the voluntary aspect of temperament allowing the individuals to regulate their emotions, thoughts and even impulses for the sake of the set goals. The individuals suffering from the condition are seen t allow frustrations with perceived obstacles escalating beyond their control. According to the existing studies, these people are at the extreme of the self-control model Though the individuals with such personality traits. One of the difficulties experienced by BPD individuals in regulating their emotions is because they are rejected several times by the society. The rejection is easily seen as they readily expect, perceive and intensely respond to the rejection. The reaction points out that the individuals feel that they are not seriously considered on the day to day activities.
Borderline Personality Disorder and Depression
Recent literature also reveals the finding related to the borderline personality disorder and depression. The close relationship between the two conditions is seen in the therapeutical findings on the borderline personality. While focusing on other conditions of co-morbidity, the temperamental characteristics have been established to contribute to depression and borderline personality disorder. The strong relationships between the two disorders seem to be understood by the researchers and the scientific community (Maria et al., 2012). Depression is more than the normal sadness, and there are some mental health problems that involve depression such as mood disorders. Individuals experiencing more episodes of depression can be diagnosed with major depressive disorders and some personality disorders including borderline personality disorders. The individuals with the borderline personality disorder also experience problems with the depressed mood and several studies have established that the BPD meet the criterion of mood disorder.
