Borderline Personality Disorder is a mental health disorder characterized by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships.

A pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affects, and marked impulsivity, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1.) Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
2.) A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
3.) Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self
4.) Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging
5.) Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
6.) Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood
7.) Chronic feelings of emptiness
8.) Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger
9.) Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
