Schizophrenia, the various forms of depression, and the anxiety states produced no readily detectable loss of nerve cells or other obvious changes in brain anatomy and therefore were classified as functional, or not based on biology.

This notion was accompanied by the suggestion that the illness may have been put into the patient's mind by his or her parent History concept to Borderline personality disorder 1938 an analyst called Albert Stern gave some weight to the borderline personality disorder we know today by identifying patient’s a typical (BPD) patients Paris, (2008).

Persons with BPD are high utilizers of treatment, especially emergency departments and inpatient hospitalizations—the most expensive forms of psychiatric treatment.
