What many people may not realize when struggling with addiction is that it is more common than not to have a co-occurring disorder, also known as a dual diagnosis, when in treatment. Mental disorders and addiction tend to exist together, and to fully recover from both, one must tackle both the addiction and the disorder separately.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that affects a person’s pattern of moods, behaviors, and the way they view themselves. Borderline Personality Disorder and addiction, unfortunately, often go hand-in-hand due to the negative self-image, skewed decision-making, and impulsive actions brought on by BPD.
