5. The American Psychiatric Association classifies BPD not as a psychiatric disorder but as a personality disorder.
6. What makes BPD such a devastating disorder is the high rate of self-injury and suicidal behavior associated with it.
7. Personality disorders tend to be treatment resistant, however there are exceptions.

1. It's easy to use, non fussy, and to me, has relevant information, thoughts, studies.. yeah, I haven't explored everything in it yet, I don't think it's an app that has a lot of bells and whistles so to speak, but I like itUpon a search of "disorder", within the top 10 results I see 3 "psycnet" apps, of which one of them is #1 result.
2. I wish really love to be a me to read up on this and learn all I can ease fix this so I can.The one fault of apps like these, is when people dont have mental illness, but they have one or two of these traits ,makes them assume they have borderline or whatever.
3. Its a tad creepy, considering the online "tests" and information stored from within the apps.This app has been very easy to use and I feel that's why I actually used it to the full extent.
4. This app makes it easy for me to stay consistent.8. I love the app! The chart, warning signs etc really help me understand and listen to my own body more.
5. I highly recommend!!Would mark with 5 stars and am willing to come back to change this once this problem is fixed but I was able to use the app earlier today so that way I could begin reading on bpd because I want to learn more on this disorder.
6. Thank youIt's a pretty good read...especially if you are someone who suffers from BPD or for those who have a loved one who struggles with this agonizing disorder.
7. GjThis has been an extremely useful app in tracking my moods! I've recently started back up in treatment for borderline personality disorder.
8. My only wish is for more, though that content is provided in other apps, etc.In a relationship with a person afflicted by BPD.
9. The ball is dropped, however, in the section "10 Signs a Woman may have bpd" It mostly reads as sexist and mysogynistic, as the clickbait title would lead most to assume.
10. Being that I have this disorder, I have read many articles on the matter.
11. I personally decided I want happy apps on my phone, not apps about the sicknesses that wrecked much of my own life.
