Borderline personality disorder and depressive disorders frequently co-occur. New research suggests they share biological factors and can influence each other through psychosocial pathways.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Depressive symptoms are common in borderline personality disorder (BPD).
  • Previous reviews (1985, 1991) offered conflicting conclusions on the relationship between BPD and depressive disorders.
  • Recent evidence necessitates a re-evaluation of their connection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize recent findings on the relationship between BPD and depressive disorders.
  • To propose a new hypothesis integrating biological and psychosocial factors.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent research including biological investigations, comorbidity studies, psychosocial stressor analyses, and neuroimaging.
  • Synthesis of evidence from phenomenology, biology, family history, illness course, comorbidity, and treatment response.

Main Results:

  • Previous research yielded differing conclusions: shared non-specific sources vs. unrelated but co-occurring disorders.
  • New evidence from biological and psychosocial studies provides a more nuanced understanding.
  • The disorders may share common biological underpinnings.

Conclusions:

  • The disorders co-occur due to shared biological features.
  • Psychosocial sequelae of each disorder can contribute to the development of the other.
  • A less parsimonious hypothesis integrating biological and psychosocial factors is proposed.
