What is the difference between regular depression/anxiety and borderline personality disorder? What is the difference between regular depression/anxiety and borderline personality disorder?
This is a great question. Some of the similarities are sadness, irritability, and mood swings but i would say that borderline personality disorder is much more severe because of the following: frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment very unstable relationships (love-hate) Unstable identity- they change according to the people they are around so others will like them Suicidal behavior is very common They are very impulsive- they will do things without thinking, often stealing or having random sex. Hope that helps! Dr. S.
