If you live with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you’ll know it comes with its own set of challenges. However, it’s important to remember that you can definitely live a full and meaningful life with BPD.

Unfortunately, there’s research that shows there’s more stigma associated with BPD than with most other mental health conditions and that stigma can come from both mental health practitioners and the general public.

Stigma can negatively affect the mental health of stigmatised populations (such as those with BPD) and stop them from getting the help they need. It’s important to understand why stigma is damaging, and know how to deal with any stigma you may face.
