What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
3. Mood Swings
Borderline personality disorder can cause the patient to experience erratic mood swings. Their moods can go from being extremely happy to extremely down in just a few moments, and for no apparent reason. They can also last from a few hours, to a few days in some cases.
The patient will also sometimes cause harm to themselves, and they may also make threats to take their own lives. This will often be in reaction to a perceived rejection or threat of abandonment. The patient will also often feel empty, and will also lose their temper. They will sometimes become extremely angry and even get into physical altercations for petty reasons.
