Borderline personality disorder can severely impact a person's ability to manage their emotions. This loss of emotional control can affect how a person feels about themselves, can increase impulsivity, and can negatively impact their relationship with others. 1 in 100 people have borderline personality disorder, affecting men and women equally.*
Chenice shares an open and honest account of her borderline personality disorder experience, which is truly inspiring, educational and teaches us that talking about mental health is not always easy, but a conversation has the power to change lives.
Recognising the signs such as changes in the way you think or feel and talking to someone/accessing early support can help speed up your recovery. Canda Life offer a broad range of mental health support to their employees.
