People with borderline PD exhibit extreme negative emotionality and are unable to regulate their emotions. They are self-destructive and impulsive, suffer chronic feelings of emptiness, and often threaten to commit suicide. They may try to avoid real or imagined abandonment by others, even if the "abandonment" is only a friend's brief vacation. Abnormalities in the frontal lobe and brain areas involved in emotion could lead to this disorder. |
