About this app

Borderline personality disorder is a mental health condition characterized by difficulty managing emotions and behavior, a pattern of unstable relationships, and self-image issues. Individuals with borderline personality disorder often engage in self-harm and deal with feelings of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and depersonalization.

Borderline Personality Disorder is commonly associated with other mental health conditions such as depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse.

BPD can typically be treated with evidence-based psychotherapy such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

This test uses the Maclean Screening Instrument for BPD - a series of 10 yes or no questions corresponding to different symptoms for Borderline Personality Disorder.

Ratings and reviews

Aside from what I thought i knew, it was rather uninformative. I have had the diagnosis twice in roughly 20 years. I had a misconception about it in it's wording. I thought the "Borderline" referred to ALMOST having a disorder. Little did I know, but things make a lot more sense now. I think the worst part is knowing that you have it. As if we Borderlines didnt second-guess ourselves enough as it is...sorry for rambling. Just my 0.02.

Basic, general knowledge. If you're just beginning on your journey to find answers about what your going through, it's a good place to start. Don't forget, never a good idea to self diagnose with Google or apps. To start to look into symptoms or for the newly diagnosed, this is basic. These tests are addicting!

Literally nine questions, nothing else in the app. Recommends a hotline and an app that you have to pay for. Waste of time And phone space.
