Borderline Personality Disorder in Teens

Borderline personality symptoms are confusing, frustrating, and hard for loved ones to understand. This is particularly the case for parents or caregivers dealing with teens who have borderline personality disorder (BPD).

While we know a great deal about how borderline personality symptoms look in adults, we know much less about how the disorder presents in teens. In fact, there is still controversy over whether it is appropriate to diagnose teens with BPD. Still, many experts argue that teens can have BPD, and adolescent BPD is now recognized as an official diagnosis.
