What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline personality disorder is a type of personality disorder that causes people to have conflicted feelings about others and difficulty regulating their moods. They experience a fear of abandonment and often fluctuate in their feelings about specific other people in their lives.
According to World Psychiatry, “In the general adult population, the lifetime prevalence of BPD has been reported to be from 0.7 to 2.7%.” However, “its prevalence is about 12% in outpatient and 22% in inpatient psychiatric services.”
A person with borderline personality disorder encounters difficulty in having healthy, long-lasting relationships due to their mood swings and inability to set healthy boundaries. Most people begin to show symptoms of the disorder during their teenage years or young adulthood. While the condition cannot be cured, it can be managed by attending treatment for borderline personality disorder in Massachusetts.
Signs and Symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder
When someone has borderline personality disorder, they will experience some or all of the following symptoms:
- Difficulty regulating their emotions
- Fear of being abandoned
- Often angry
- Moodiness
- Paranoia
- Believing others are judging them unfairly
- Adoring a person one minute then turning their back on them
- Risky behaviors
- Self-injury
- Suicidal thoughts
You are not alone. You deserve to get help.

How Do I Know If Someone Needs Treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder?
Too often, people don’t recognize their need for treatment for borderline personality disorder in Massachusetts. A good way to determine if a person needs to seek treatment is to ask themselves how many of these statements apply to them:
- I cannot regulate my moods and it frustrates me.
- I feel like people don’t like me or will betray or abandon me.
- I sometimes have a favorite person who I then believe is no longer worthy of my attention or respect.
- My disorder makes it difficult to perform at capacity at work or school.
- I previously attended treatment for borderline personality disorder but didn’t get the results I wanted.
Our Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment Programs in Massachusetts
At our center for borderline personality disorder treatment in Massachusetts, we offer different levels of care to meet each person’s needs. Our High-Intensity Outpatient Treatment Program meets on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It provides much of the same structure as a residential plan, but the individual does not have to move out of their home.
Our Intensive Outpatient Programs give people a choice of attending daytime or evening sessions. They require less time than our High-Intensity Outpatient Program, while still offering valuable support through attending several types of therapy.
How Is Borderline Personality Disorder Treated?
Borderline personality disorder is not curable, but with the right treatment, it becomes manageable. A combination of individual and group therapies helps people understand their triggers, draw boundaries in relationships, and develop better communication skills. This helps their moods become less toxic and more in control.
The types of therapy we offer include:
- Adventure Therapy
- Exercise Program
- Trauma Therapy
- Individual Therapy
- Group Therapy
- Holistic Therapy
- Acupuncture
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
We also offer aftercare planning to keep people feeling in control and prepared to deal with any difficult emotions or situations. Prescription medications also offer a way to minimize the symptoms of borderline personality disorder.
How Is Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosed?
If someone suspects something is wrong with their mental health, they should speak with their doctor and ask for a referral to a mental health professional. A therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist will interview the individual and ask about their symptoms, the severity of them, and how long they’ve been going on. Through conversation and analysis, the clinician will be able to determine if the individual has borderline personality disorder.
Is Treatment For Borderline Personality Disorder Effective?
Treatment for borderline personality disorder can be tremendously effective in helping people manage their symptoms and feel more even emotionally. Attending therapy and using medications helps minimize the symptoms of the disorder. The key is for the individual to consistently attend their appointments for a long period and take their medications.
How Do I Pay For Mental Health Treatment?
Most people pay for treatment by using their insurance. They can either contact their company to find out what they cover or speak to an admissions counselor at a facility they have in mind. The counselor can help determine what programs are covered and how much, if any, of the cost the client will need to incur. They can also discuss private pay options.
