On ‘What’s Trending,’ hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters discuss Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a mental health condition characterized by intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties.
Nature and Nurture
BPD can stem from a combination of genetic predisposition and childhood experiences, highlighting the complex interplay of biological and environmental factors.
Impact on Relationships
The fear of abandonment associated with BPD can lead to unstable relationships and emotional turmoil. Understanding and managing this fear is crucial for building healthy connections.
Seeking Professional Help
Therapy, particularly Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), can be highly effective in managing BPD symptoms and improving overall well-being. Individuals with BPD are encouraged to seek professional guidance and support.
