Personality disorders in adolescents have long been a debated and controversial topic. Adolescence is a critical period when psychiatric disorders begin to emerge, hence addressing these concerns early can lead to positive outcomes. While Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is the most researched personality disorder in adults, clinicians have often hesitated to diagnose it in adolescents. However, studies on reliability and validity since 2005 have confirmed that BPD can and must be diagnosed early, enabling timely interventions.
In this webinar - where case anecdotes will illustrate the theory in practice - we will explore BPD, its aetiology, and its emergence during adolescence.
