On today’s episode, we’re digging into Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD for short) and no, it’s not just about being “emotional” or “dramatic” (but thanks, media, for that stereotype).

There’s actual science behind it, and I'm here to translate it into something that doesn’t sound like a dictionary. Then we're going to talk about the media portrayal of BPD, and you guessed it- BPD is way more nuanced and way less “dramatic movie plot” than Hollywood would like you to think. So let's get into it.
