Using clinician–patient collaboration to tackle structural stigma and age discrimination in borderline personality disorder

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: SUMMARY In this clinical reflection, we report on stigma and ageism and their impact on those experiencing signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD). We highlight the need for increased collaboration between those with lived experience of the disorder and healthcare providers. This is an important issue in BPD as the impact of structural stigma is significantly affecting the quality of life and short- and long-term trajectories of those with BPD, especially during adolescence.
