BPD Insight and Awareness App

The BPD Insight and Awareness App is an essential resource for gaining a deeper understanding of borderline personality disorder. This comprehensive application offers a wealth of information and resources for individuals affected by BPD, along with loved ones, family, and friends. It begins with an in-depth description of BPD and the nine clinical BPD symptoms.

A historical overview of the disorder is presented, 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 provides access to the most popular BPD blogs and links to the most reputable sources of information on BPD, such as NEABPD, NIMH, NAMI, and more. It includes powerful mindfulness videos created specifically for individuals with BPD, multimedia presentations, audio tracks, inspiring music, famous BPD quotes, and powerful affirmations.

The app includes two self-assessments used in the diagnosis of 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 clear, intelligible language and provide information thoughtfully and sensitively, emphasizing recovery.
