Borderline personality disorder may be the reason for anger in adolescents

Clinical Psychologist Asst. Prof. Dr. Haydeh Faraji from Istanbul Gelisim University (IGU) emphasized that the origin of personality disorders occurs in childhood and adolescence. She also stated that the most prominent features of borderline personality formation and disorder are feelings of abandonment and anger.

Clinical Psychologist Asst. Prof. Dr. Haydeh Faraji from Istanbul Gelisim University Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences, Department of Psychology: ‘’Borderline personality traits indicate a future development of borderline personality disorder. If it is detected and intervened in young individuals, the related problems can be solved before they turn into a disorder.’’

EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS SIGNIFICANT

Borderline personality disorder, which is a disorder in which there is a persistent imbalance in the person's sense of identity, relationships and behaviors, causes many psychosocial and financial problems, including dysfunction in professional life and social relationships. Having a severe borderline personality trait, especially in adolescents, can negatively affect skills as they move into adulthood. Asst. Prof. Dr. Haydeh Faraji: “Emotions in borderline personality disorder (BPD) are negative, intense, and volatile. In particular, anger plays a key role in emotional lability. At the same time, borderline adolescents may seem very happy one moment, become angry, tearful or excited the next, and quickly become calmer. Determining the early manifestations of the disease at an early age is very crucial in reducing the individual and social costs of the disease.

BIPOLAR DISORDER IS MOSTLY ACCOMPANIED BY ANXIETY DISORDERS!

According to research conducted in 2018, borderline personality trait levels were significantly higher in 78% of suicidal adolescents who admitted to the emergency department. Asst. Prof. Dr. Faraji: “Borderline personality disorders are accompanied by various disorders such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, eating disorders, alcohol/substance abuse and addiction. The disorder is mostly accompanied by anxiety disorder. At the same time, people with borderline disorders receive less educational qualifications since they receive more treatment than those with other psychiatric disorders. Therefore, more unemployment problems are encountered.”
