Borderline Personality Disorder
BPD is a common mental illness which is associated with a significant degree of distress and impairment.
Mental health is an important part of wellbeing and is about balance in our thoughts, feelings, behaviour and relationships with others.
A mental illness is a severe or prolonged disruption in these, which has a negative impact on our every day lifestyle.
Being unwell does not necessarily mean that you have a mental illness.
If you experience mental illness, it's important to have support to help you deal with your experience.
If you feel unwell please see your local doctor who will be able to assist.
For assistance in a mental health emergency, contact the mental health triage service - telephone 13 14 65 available 24 hours, seven days a week.
