How do we know how prevalent BPD is?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we should note that in the early 1990s BPD was not recognized as a common disorder. Now it is.<\/p>\n

A number of studies have been performed in the USA to determine prevalence. Some found that 1.8% of Americans meet the criteria, while others suggested a range of 2-4% or even almost 6%. Even the lowest estimate finds that BPD is about as common as Bi-Polar I and more common than Schizophrenia, both of which are far better known.<\/p>\n

Up-to-Date Research:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summing up the conservative end, Zanarini stated in 2016: 1.8% of Americans meet criteria. (Zanarini McLean Webinar\u2013BPD Patient and Family Education Initiative, \u201cThe Long-Term Course of Borderline Personality Disorder,\u201d Originally aired Wednesday, February 3, 2016, accessed at\u00a0https:\/\/www.mcleanhospital.org\/borderline-personality-disorder-patient-and-family-education-initiative<\/a>)<\/p>\n

In an earlier 2003 study Zanarini had stated that\u00a0clinical experience suggests that BPD is often underdiagnosed in many treatment settings, so 1.8% may be low.<\/u>\u00a0(Zanarini et al. \u201cA SCREENING MEASURE FOR BPD: THE MCLEAN SCREENING INSTRUMENT FOR BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (MSI-BPD)\u201d Journal of Personality Disorders, 17[6], 568-573, 2003.)<\/p>\n

Gunderson, championing the middle road, states that BPD is the most common of the personality disorders, with a prevalence rate of approximately 2\u20134% in the general population, accounting for 20% of people receiving inpatient mental health care and 15% of those receiving outpatient care.

Retrieved from\u00a0\u00a0www.borderlinepersonalitydisorder.com\/professionals\/a-bpd-brief\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Grant et al provide the highest figures:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe results of a large, well-conducted study funded by the\u00a0National Institute of Mental Health\u00a0suggests that the lifetime prevalence rate of borderline disorder\u00a0is\u00a05.9%\u00a0of the general population and appears to occur equally in men and women.\u201d (Grant et al. \u201cPrevalence, Correlates, Disability, and Comorbidity of DSM-IV Borderline Personality Disorder: Results from the Wave 2 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions\u201d J Clin Psychiatry. 2008 Apr; 69[4]: 533\u2013545.

BPD can be diagnosed as early as at 12 years old if symptoms persist for at least one year, according to the DSM-5. Most diagnoses, however, are made during late adolescence or early adulthood. “As Mayo Clinic psychiatrist Christopher Palmer notes, the condition may not manifest until adolescence\u2014often with self-cutting, burning, or frank\u00a0suicidal behavior\u2014but it begins long before. ‘As children, they are hard to parent,’ he says. In the absence of exceptional parenting, they never achieve self-regulation or a stable sense of self and never learn to tolerate any distress.”(Elizabeth Svoboda, \u201cThe Chaos That Borderline Personality Can Generate,<\/a>\u201d\u00a0Psychology Today<\/em>, September 2, 2013)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
