Word origin
The term Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) originated in the 1930s when psychoanalyst Adolph Stern first described patients who were on the 'borderline' between neurosis and psychosis. Over the years, the understanding and diagnosis of BPD have evolved, leading to more effective treatments and interventions for individuals with this disorder.
