BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on patients diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). BPD patients who are unable to see a therapist due to limitations during the pandemic may experience feelings of uncertainty, misperceptions, misunderstandings, and even paranoid ideas that are usually associated with stress. In patients who have previously undergone psychotherapy, there may be negative effects during this pandemic. The majority of providers/therapists, on the other hand, stated that their experience exceeded their expectations and that they had a favorable assessment of patient acceptance.
