Mental illness spares no one children, adolescents, adults, and even the elderly. Chances are, you may have a friend, parent, sibling, relative, coworker, or spouse who has it. When a loved one is affected, it changes the dynamic of the relationships we have. Oftentimes, psychiatric disorders are powerful enough to wreak havoc on the entire household simply because people dont know enough about it, and how to deal with it. When these issues arent addressed properly, it can lead to a painful cycle of blame and hurt. The most common mental illness is borderline personality disorder BPD, which affects 2 of the American population each year. It is characterized by the inability to maintain stable personal relationships and extremely impulsive behavior which is why it is commonly referred to as emotionally unstable personality disorder or emotional intensity disorder, among others.
