Summary
BPD has a wide impact, causing significant distress to patients, families and friends. Recognising the need for early diagnosis and intervention, the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) clinical practice guideline for the management of BPD has recommended that BPD be diagnosed from the age of 12 [20]. Complex interactions between biological vulnerabilities and environmental factors (e.g. trauma, attachment disorders, bullying, invalidating interpersonal experiences during developmental years) may result in individual patients carving their own unique pathways towards the development of BPD.
