Borderline personalities represent 2 to 3% of the general population, 10% of people who consult psychiatrists, 20% of patients hospitalized in psychiatry. 60 to 70% of "borderline" people will make one (or more) suicide attempts during their life.
Borderline personality disorder is marked by a disturbance in self-image, uncertainties about goals, values, personal preferences, and an often overwhelming sense of emptiness. It frequently manifests itself through emotional crises associated with repeated threats of suicide or self-harm.
