The term “borderline” was actually originally created as those with the condition appeared to be on the border of psychosis. Research has not supported this over the years but psychotic symptoms can and do occur in those with BPD and this causes the disorder to be even more complex than it already is. This is going to be a two-part video. In this video I’m going to discuss the types of psychotic disorders and the signs and symptoms and relate them to BPD, and in the second video we’ll talk in greater detail about BPD and psychosis and I’ll give you some management tips. Let’s get into it.

In the general public, psychotic experiences are reported by approximately 8–17% of children and adolescents and 5% of adults. One study found that 24% of those with BPD reported severe psychotic symptoms and approximately 75% had dissociative and paranoid ideation. Notice I am saying psychotic symptoms, not disorder or schizophrenia and that’s import to note here. Let’s break the psychotic disorders down:
Psychosis on a spectrum, like all disorders from absent to extreme (show severity scale).

Key symptoms of the various psychotic disorders are delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking or speech, grossly disorganized behavior, and negative symptoms.

Types of psychotic disorders include:

Schizotypal PD, Brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizophreniform, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia.
Schizotypal personality disorder is a persistent pattern of social and interpersonal deficits, including reduced capacity for close relationships; cognitive or perceptual distortions; and eccentricities of behavior that usually begins in early adulthood but in some cases first becoming apparent in childhood and adolescence.

Time is critical here. Brief psychotic disorder lasts more than 1 day and remits by 1 month. Schizophreniform disorder looks just like schizophrenia except that it lasts for less than 6 months.
Schizophrenia lasts for at least 6 months and includes at least 1 month of active-phase symptoms. In schizoaffective disorder, a mood episode and the active-phase symptoms of schizophrenia occur together and were preceded or are followed by at least 2 weeks of delusions or hallucinations without prominent mood symptoms.

In the next video we will dive deeper into psychosis and BPD, check it out!
