Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex and misunderstood personality disorder that most people are unaware of yet it affects 2% of the general population. This video provides a personal account of how a university student navigates their day when living with BPD. A more detailed overview of the disorder including symptoms, diagnosis and treatment will follow.
DISCLAIMER: The through my eyes style video was used as a creative element for this assignment only. This video depicts a hypothetical story of the experiences of a student with BPD. We recognize that there is variability in experiences across those diagnosed with BPD and are in no way trying to generalize the experiences of those affected.
