Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment
Southwest Florida Treatment Center
The DSM-5 describes a personality disorder as “an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual’s culture”. Such behavior affects one or more areas of a person’s life, including their cognition, interpersonal relationships, emotions, and impulse control.
What is Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?
Borderline personality disorder is a mental health problem that impacts a person’s ability to control their reactions. This loss of emotional management can raise impulsive behaviors, affect how a person sees themselves, and harm their relationships with others. Effective BPD treatments are available at our recovery campus in Fort Myers.
