On Borderline Personality Disorder—Part 1: Overview and Diagnosis

In this two-part discussion, we speak with Frank E. Yeomans, M.D., Ph.D. and Paula Tusiani-Eng, L.M.S.W., about borderline personality disorder (BPD). Our panelists begin episode one by defining and demystifying the disorder with the hopes of dismantling some of the stigma surrounding BPD through education.

Ms. Tusiani-Eng describes her personal and professional experiences with BPD, while providing context of some of the symptoms and impacts of the disorder. The discussion continues with Dr. Yeomans providing context on how a patient may be diagnosed along with barrier to diagnosis.
