Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Week
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Awareness Week aims to heighten awareness for the need of access to treatment, promote resilience, hope and recovery.
Description
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a pervasive disorder including difficulties with emotion regulation that can cause a lot of suffering, carries a risk of suicide and needs an accurate diagnosis along with targeted treatment.
What makes a personality ‘disordered’?
A personality disorder is a class of mental disorders that are diagnosed when these patterns are repeatedly and seriously inflexible and dysfunctional, over an extended period of time.
BPD Awareness Week will heighten awareness in Australia, resulting in effective early detection, access to evidence-based treatment for all Australians affected and providing for the adoption of family education to promote resiliency and recovery for BPD for all families impacted.
