Entire Body System
Intravenous Administration
- CONCLUSION: A case of regular intravenous administration of nicotine has been observed, apparently resulting in nicotine dependence in a person with borderline personality disorder.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
Ganser Syndrome
- Ganser's syndrome. Investigations Toxicology screen because substance abuse is common (as with many personality disorders).[patient.info]
Neurologic
Cognitive Disorder
- Nonparametric conditional inference trees were used to test for cognitive disorder-specificity. Participants with AN exhibited higher trait-TSF-scores than those with BPD, when participants with BPD and a co-occurring AN were removed.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
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]
- […] after 3 years of treatment.[archpsyc.jamanetwork.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]
Etiology
- The authors propose a fourth hypothesis focusing on the multiple etiologies of the signs and symptoms used to diagnose both affective and borderline disorders and suggesting that some patients in the resulting heterogeneous population have symptom clusters[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]
- Background Functional neuroimaging studies have implicated the frontal lobes and the hippocampus-amygdala complex in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).[doi.org]
Prevention
- HYPE is a novel indicated prevention and early intervention service for BPD in youth (15 to 25 y of age).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Meanwhile, the cause of BPD remains under investigation, and there's no known way to prevent it. Possible causes include: Genetics. Some studies of twins and families suggest that personality disorders may be inherited. Environmental factors.[web.archive.org]
