Personality functioning in bipolar 1 disorder and borderline personality disorder
Our data show greater impairment in personality functioning in BPD than in BD patients. BD patients present with varying levels of PO, whereas in BPD severe deficits in PO are pathognomonic. The level of PO has a significant impact on symptom severity in both BD and BPD patients. Therefore, careful assessment of PO should be considered for differential diagnosis and adequate treatment planning.
