Borderline Personality Disorder (or also known as BPD), is a behavioral mental disorder on the ways in which something traumatic has occurred and causes the person to develop behavioral habits that are considered not normal to the behavior the person might have exhibited in the past before the change happened. Some symptoms of borderline personality disorder include: self-harm, unable to stabilize emotional feelings, problems within a relationship (e.g. shift from positive to negative immediately or threat of losing them due to unable to tell information on what troubles the person), and abuse of alcohol and drugs or sexual behavior that is not commonly found in the person (e.g. partaking in orgies, engaging in multiple partners).
The movies that commonly represent this behavior are A Street Car Named Desire (1951), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Anna Karenina (2012 remake), and Girl Interrupted (1999). All of these movies portray their major characters suffering from this self-harming problem. Angelia Jolie portrayed a young woman who suffered from self-harming and also portrayed forms of anti-social behavior. Her character is a girl who has gone in and out of the psychiatric center, but is often dragged back for further treatment by the police. She is constantly getting in trouble with the law, she is very aggravated and easily angered. Winona's character shows borderline personality disorder, but she shows the more emotional and sexual behaviors of the disease while Angelina's character expresses the drug habits and the continuous escaping from the mental facility for fear of electro-shock therapy.
Borderline Personalities often have problems with explaining their behavior and often have problems with controlling their emotions and how easy it is for someone to take to drugs and other forms of coping mechanisms to function normally in the social atmosphere. Movies play a prominent role in showing this form of mental illness because most people who suffer form the disease could range from the kid who has low-self esteem to the girl who uses forms of eating disorders to gain the attention of her male counterparts. If you or anyone you know has this problem, get help or contact a local psychiatrists for an appointment and see what can be done to correct the problem. The longer you wait, the more likely you are willing to hurt yourself out of existence.
