Introduction
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychological well-being issue evaluated to influence
1-2% of the overall public. As a gathering, individuals with BPD persevere through a high level
of affliction, regularly prompting suicide endeavors, self-damage, and suicide. Relatively few
examinations investigate the main individual viewpoint of the individual experiencing any
psychological well-being issue. This may be particularly hazardous for individuals having BPD,
as this specific conclusion is trailed by shame possibly making help looking for harder and
helping connections increasingly defenseless. (Kverme, Natvik, Veseth & Moltu, 2019)
It has been proposed that people determined to have BPD experience issues with mentalization,
and that BPD is best comprehended as an injury and connection based confusion. Suicide
endeavors are regular among people who have BPD. In an ongoing substantial scale overview
the balanced hazard for having an ongoing suicide endeavor with the nearness of a BPD finding
was accounted for to be more than 13% (Olfson et al., 2017), among the most astounding
between all emotional wellness issue. Prior research has exhibited that somewhere in the range
of 3.0 and 9.5% end up ending their own life. The frightening seriousness of anguish and hazard
related with a BPD finding underscore the significance of creating sound learning about the
course of misery and recuperation for these individuals.
In the condition of BPD, it is very common with patients to have a feeling of impulsiveness,
having roblems in understanding their relations, having suicidal tendency and involvement in
self destructive acts. (Duque-Alarcón, Alcalá-Lozano, González-Olvera, Garza-Villarreal &
Pellicer, 2019). In addition, other cardinal manifestations of BPD, for example, outrage,
emotional precariousness, self-destructive conduct, and rashness, principally show inside
relational settings (Sharp, 2016). In a dimensional viewpoint, patients with BPD intermittently
show attributes of enthusiastic lability, uneasiness, division instability, brutality, lack of caution,
chance presentation, and antagonistic vibe, fundamentally influencing the negative affectivity
and enmity spaces. A portion of these BPD highlights have been considered as pointers of
identity weakness seriousness. (Liebke et al., 2017). Interpersonal issues have been proposed as
the most trademark and discriminative component of the turmoil (Euler et al., 2019 Proof has

appeared relational issues underlie abstract weight and conduct deviations (e.g., self-damage and
savagery), and that they are identified with neurobiological modifications. Therefore,
improvement of relational relations is a center point of compelling treatments for BPD (Cristea et
al., 2017).
There are very few studies which have been able to understand with the patient’s point of view.
That is its only the individual who is suffering from the disorder knows better about his
condition. But the studies are much more focused upon devising medication and further
intervention. (Lavik, Veseth, Frøysa, Binder & Moltu, 2018). This review will discuss those
patients who have an earlier history of childhood maltreatment, child abuse or any kind of
violent act that they have faced during their childhood. This will also take into consideration, the
condition of those parents who have BPD, there relationship with their children would be
discussed. The cases of abandonment and the feeling of loneliness leading to BPD would also be
discussed in the review. The studies that have been taken for this review are mostly based on
interactions done with the patients. The conclusions have been drawn on the basis of their
statements and experiences that they have gone through along with the various psychological as
well as pharmacological interventions for the treatment of BPD would be discussed.
Causes and interventions for the treatment of BPD
Stone (2019), reported a case study of five different patients who have undergone treatment for
BPD. All the patients had one thing in common and that was, they all had a history of some or
the other kind of mental illness in their families. They all had been diagnosed with the BPD at a
very tender age. The conclusion that can be drawn from all those cases is that, there are a specific
requirements of specific therapies and the way of treating every patient. It depends upon the
individuals own specific problems. For e.g., if the condition of BPD is result of child
mistreatment or a family history of domestic violence, and on the other hand a patient’s
condition is a result of sexual abuse then the type of treatment or the therapy given to both of
them would not be similar. Secondly People who come in the patient’s life at different points of
time also lay a major role in making their condition better or even worse. In the cases reported by
Stone one patient was found to be remarkably stable and confident when she found that perfect
one person whom she married and lived happily with him instead of having many abusive affairs
