Diagnostic Protocol Diagnosis: Borderline Personality Disorder is marked by: Unstable and intense relationships Unstable self-image or sense of self Impulsive behaviors that are self damaging Affective instability Dysphoric mood Shortened REM latency and sleep continuity disturbances Abnormal DST results Abnormal thyrotropin releasing hormones Undermining themselves at the moment a goal is about to be realized Psychotic like symptoms during times of stress (The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder can be made by early adulthood when patients show at least 5 of the criteria listed in Table 23-6, below.) Genetics- Some studies of twins and families suggest that personality disorders may be inherited. Environmental factors- Many people with borderline personality disorder have a history of childhood abuse, neglect and separation from caregivers or loved ones. Brain abnormalities- Some research has shown changes in certain areas of the brain involved in emotion regulation, impulsivity and aggression. In addition, certain brain chemicals that help regulate mood, such as serotonin, may not function properly.
