Walking the Line: A Case Study on Borderline Personality Disorder
This case study examines the case of Mr. Hasan, an 18-year-old male exhibiting severe symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), characterized by emotional instability, interpersonal difficulties, and behavioral challenges. BPD is marked by unstable moods, selfidentity issues, and fear of abandonment. Mr. Hasan’s history reveals neglectful and adverse childhood experiences, alongside disturbed family relationships, which likely contributed to his symptoms.The Borderline Personality Questionnaire (BPQ) from NovoPsych was administered, revealing severe symptoms of BPD, including intense mood swings, self-identity issues, and difficulties in sustaining relationships. Therapeutic interventions focused on emotional regulation and interpersonal skills were employed to manage symptoms and improve relational dynamics.This study aims to enhance understanding of BPD, its clinical manifestations, and therapeutic management, emphasizing the need for a person-centered approach to treat this complex disorder.
