SUMMARY:The Science of Borderline Personality Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Discover the science\, stigma and common misconceptions behind 
 Borderline Personality Disorder. Followed by Q&A.Borderline Personality Di
 sorder (BPD) is a common diagnosis in psychiatry—but what does it really
  mean\, and what’s the science behind it? First coined in 1953 by psycho
 analyst Heinz Kohut\, BPD was intended to help distinguish certain behavio
 urs from serious conditions like schizophrenia. Over time\, it became a ca
 tch-all label for behaviours that didn’t fit neatly into other diagnoses
 .If you've ever struggled with intense emotions\, unstable relationships\,
  or frequent job changes\, you may have encountered the term 'borderline.'
  But this term often carries stigma\, leading to mixed responses from ment
 al health services. This talk will unpack why that is and explore how BPD 
 can sometimes act like bubble-wrap over other mental health issues—easy 
 to see but often masking deeper layers beneath. Doors open at 7pm\, talk 
 starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!Follow us on IG @se
