Borderline personality disorder test

Borderline personality disorder test
This borderline personality disorder test is designed to help you determine whether you meet some criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD). It is not meant for diagnostic purposes. A proper BPD diagnosis requires meeting specific criteria and ruling out other mental health disorders with similar symptoms, such as Bipolar disorder, which is often misdiagnosed as BPD.

Many people with BPD traits struggle to understand why their behavior differs so much from others. For example, they may find it difficult to maintain friendships or relationships like others do. To learn more about common challenges faced by people with BPD, click here.

This test can provide insight into why your relationships may feel turbulent, why you quickly fall in and out of love, and why you sometimes act impulsively. After completing the borderline personality disorder test, you’ll receive immediate results with a clear explanation. The test is anonymous and takes just 5 minutes to complete.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
People with BPD often have an intense fear of real or imagined abandonment, which can lead to destructive behaviors like self-harm or suicide attempts. Frequent mood swings, impulsivity, and anger are often triggered by this fear and may push loved ones away. This can create a vicious cycle of strained relationships and emotional instability.
