What Are The Symtoms Of Border Line Personality Disorder?

I am currently supporting a person, full time, in my home, who has a mental health disorder. She has never had a formal diagnosis and I'm suspecting that she may well be boarder-line personality disorder and wondered if you could shed some light on this situation for me. What are some of the signs/symptoms of a boarder-line personality disorder?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
A person with borderline personality disorder often act impulsively without thinking about consequences. He/ she usually complains of feeling empty and the mood frequently fluctuates. Such a person often show anger outbursts and have unstable relationships with others. A borderline person have a tendency for showing self-destructive behavior (suicide gestures and attempts).
Such behavioral pattern is usually present for along duration of time and manifests in multiple situations and not just in a single setting.
It is highly recommended that you fix a consultation with a psychiatrist for confirming the diagnosis.
Best wishes.
