Ever since its discovery in the early 1980s, borderline personality disorder has been unofficially known as one of the most elusive and difficult to treat mental health diagnoses. However, with some recent breakthroughs, this topic has become much more accessible for first-time listeners. This book offers an overview of the main symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this condition through a very informative audiobook. It's a great way to get up to speed on what it means to experience borderline personality disorder before you hear about it from friends or co-workers.
Some individuals with BPD are prone to self-injurious behaviors such as cutting themselves. Other individuals who don't engage in these behaviors still experience intrusive and disturbing thoughts, feelings and impulses that sometimes escalate into full-blown dissociative episodes. These intense reactions can cause physiological problems such as panic attacks, high blood pressure, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a pattern of intense and unstable relationships, self-image problems, impulsive behaviors, emotional dysregulation, identity issues, and chaotic sense of self.
Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies is a self-directed guide to help you understand the condition and ameliorate its signs and symptoms. Written by experts in their field of mental health, this book provides essential knowledge that can be applied to daily life.
