Understanding Borderline Personality Disorder.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a complex, controversial and widely misunderstood mental illness. Millions of people – and their loved ones – struggle with BPD, yet few understand what it is.
People who have BPD may exhibit uncontrolled anger, have troubled relationships, intensely fear abandonment, act impulsively, abuse drugs or alcohol, harm themselves, attempt suicide, experience profound loneliness or, at times, feel detached from the world around them.
This program, the first in a series of five on Borderline Personality Disorder, explains what BPD is through the personal experiences of four families who have a relative with BPD.

Sammy C –
This actually gave me a better understanding of my disorder.
Spouse –
Because I learned more about others in this situation (both those with BPD and family members), I learned that I wasn’t alone, as well as a better understanding of what I might expect to experience. That helped me to be more understanding, I changed my reactions and interactions because of what I learned, which reduced my BPD spouse’s stress and anxieties. It’s not the relationship that I had envisioned when we got married, but it is better today than it was. I have fewer “expectations” and have become much more flexible in our relationship and in life. I am at peace with her and accept her for who she is.
Alex, family member –
Film does not touch my family experience.
