New research shows borderline personality disorder (BPD) was actually the mental illness most strongly associated with childhood trauma.
Adverse childhood experiences have long been correlated with mental health struggles like addiction, depression and anxiety in adulthood. But a new analysis, conducted by researchers at the University of Manchester, found that borderline personality disorder was actually the mental illness most strongly associated with childhood trauma.
The most common childhood adverse experiences reported by people with BPD were physical neglect , emotional abuse , physical abuse sexual abuse and emotional neglect . In some people who have experienced chronic, overwhelming stress in childhood, it is likely that these responses do not develop in the same way. People can become more sensitive to ‘normal’ stress. They are sometimes unable to deal with intense negative thoughts and feelings, and they might resort to dangerous or unhelpful measures to feel better, such as taking drugs or self-harming.
By age 11, I had lost my childlike innocence and replaced it with anger. I began binge-drinking, stealing and experimenting with substances. This version of self helped me escape the painful emotions and thoughts about myself and my traumatic experiences. It gave me a sense of freedom and power until the consequences of my actions caught up with me. Then, I became even more enslaved and powerless.
