What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
5. Complications
The symptoms of borderline personality disorder can also cause a great deal of disruption in the patient’s life. For example, the patient might not finish their education, and they can experience ongoing difficulties in keeping jobs. The patient will also sometimes have problems with the authorities, and some will end up being imprisoned for their behavior.
The patient may also frequently end up in a hospital with injuries, some of which will have been self-inflicted. Relationships can be rocky, and borderline personality disorder makes it more likely the patient will be involved in toxic relationships. Sexually transmitted diseases are also more likely, as are unplanned pregnancies.
