Borderline personality disorder- feelings of "emptiness," suicidality, self-mutilation, unstable relationships, and more common in women than in men. A common defense mechanism in this disorder is "splitting" in which people are seen as entirely good or entirely bad. Borderline personality disorder is also part of the Cluster B personality disorders, which are associated with substance abuse.
Borderline = Unstable mood and interpersonal relationships, fear of abandonment, impulsivity, self- mutilation, suicidality, sense of emotional emptiness.
Females > males.
Splitting is a major defense mechanism.
Treatment: dialectical behavior therapy.
The personality disorder is always borderline if it's a suicide attempt after a breakup.
