Other common side effects include headache, fatigue, diarrhea, dizziness and decreased libido or anorgasmia [ 95 ]. [doi.org]

- Eruptions
Psychopharmacological treatment may become necessary during episodes of acute decompensation in which suicidal or self-destructive behaviour erupts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Brief hospitalization may sometimes be necessary during acutely stressful episodes or if suicide or other self-destructive behavior threatens to erupt. Hospitalization may provide a a temporary removal from external stress. [web.stanford.edu]

- Fear
We also examined whether fear of emotions mediates the relationship between the biosocial precursors and thought suppression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
With borderline personality disorder, you have an intense fear of abandonment or instability, and you may have difficulty tolerating being alone. [mayoclinic.org]
- Distractibility
In this study, we presented a novel picture-based emotional go/no-go task with distracting emotional faces in the background, which was administered to 16 patients with BPD and 16 age-matched healthy controls. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In case of emergency, distract yourself If your attempts to calm down aren’t working and you’re starting to feel overwhelmed by destructive urges, distracting yourself may help. [helpguide.org]
While self-harm can bring momentary relief and distraction from emotional distress, the effect is very short-term. It’s also damaging to your body and can lead to serious, even fatal, consequences. [sane.org]

Workup
See Workup for more detail. Management Historically, treatment of patients with BPD has been difficult. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Abstract Objective: The authors examined three yearlong outpatient treatments for borderline personality disorder: dialectical behavior therapy, transference-focused psychotherapy, and a dynamic supportive treatment. [ajp.psychiatryonline.org]
The duration of treatment We report treatment duration as a variable of outcome, defined as the number of months in treatment and treatment drop-out as less than 3 months in treatment. 2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The so called “treatment gap” is a function of the disinclination of the afflicted to submit for treatment, an under diagnosing of the disorder by healthcare providers, and the limited availability and access to state-of-the-art treatments. [bpdfamily.com]

Prognosis
OBJECTIVE: To provide evidence that some borderline patients with poor prognosis can obtain complete remission. METHOD: Case of a violent rapist with borderline personality disorder in remission is reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
With the selected articles, the following conclusions were drawn up: 1) self harming behaviors are different to lethal suicide attempts in terms of prognosis and personality traits; 2) there are controversial results, probably explained by the fact that [elsevier.es]

Pathophysiology
The reconceptualization of the pathophysiology and development of BPD in the context of a rapidly changing health care environment warrants examination of relevant psychotherapeutic and treatment principles. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
