what is bipolar wikipedia
What is the difference between borderlne personality disorder and bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness)?
The two conditions must be independent, but if you look at a basic monitoring of them (ie, Wikipedia or similar) that seem very similar. I was wondering if someone with some knowledge about these issues would be able to pinpoint what are the differences between these two conditions. Thanks in advance for any response. Whoops, obviously a bit wrong spelled 'limit' in the title there.
Bipolar, or manic depression is a mood disorder. The person has mood swings which can be sudden and severe. Their behavior may be quite out of control when they are 'high', they are elated and very quick thinking. They may suffer severe depressive episodes. Borderline Personality Disorder is very different, although the person may present initially with depression. This is a developmental disorder where the person usually has little sense of themselves and their behavior towards others. They have difficulty forming and maintaining relationships, because it is difficult commitment and often have a poor ability to manage anger. They tend to blame others for their problems and find it difficult to accept that their behavior affects results. So they are often unstable in mood, which is where the confusion occurs, but do not have the mood disorder. I hope that helps.
