BPD Insight and Awareness App

The BPD Insight and Awareness App serves as an essential resource for gaining a deeper understanding of borderline personality disorder. This all-encompassing application offers a wealth of information and resources for individuals affected by BPD, as well as for loved ones, family, and friends. It begins with an in-depth descriptions of the nine clinical symptoms of BPD, alongside a historical overview of the disorder, tracing its origins from 1938, when Adolf Stern first introduced the term "borderline," to the recognition of May as National Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month by the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008.

This app gives you access to the most popular BPD podcasts and blogs, as well as links to the most reputable sources of information on BPD, such as NEABPD, NIMH, NAMI, and more. It also includes multimedia presentations, video interviews, inspiring music, famous BPD quotes, and a DBT therapist finder.

In addition, the app includes two self-assessments used in diagnosing BPD, including the highly regarded McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD).

Borderline personality disorder affects approximately 16 million individuals in the United States, or nearly 6% of the adult population. Despite being acknowledged as one of the most prevalent and painful psychiatric disorders, BPD continues to face substantial stigma and misconceptions, resulting in a widespread lack of understanding about this condition.

For many years, it was believed that borderline personality disorder only affected young women. We now know that both men and women of all ages are affected by BPD in nearly identical numbers. 

This app will present information on BPD using language that nearly anyone can understand. In addition it attempts to provide information in a thoughtful and sensitive manner with an emphasis on recovery.
