Borderline Personality Disorder is actually the most common personality disorder to be diagnosed, and that's those who have been diagnosed there may be even more people dealing with borderline personality disorder that aren't diagnosed

It is more likely than we might think! Between 0.5% and 1.7% of the world's population suffers from BPD. The numbers may look small, but this is millions of people!
