Borderline Personality Disorder
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a serious mental disorder marked by a pattern of ongoing instability in moods, behavior, self-image, and functioning. These experiences often result in impulsive actions and unstable interpersonal relationships. A person with BPD may experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last from only a few hours to days.[1]
Association of BPD and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome[edit | edit source]
Penfold (2016) stated:
| “ | BPD in patients with CFS: "There does not appear to be firm and consistent evidence to support the hypothesis that the prevalence of BPD is higher in individuals with CFS than in the general population."[2] |
” |
Courjatet (2009) and Kempke (2013) also found personality disorders were no more common in ME/CFS patients than in the general population.[3][4]
