  • Clinical Psychology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Recovery in mental health is defined as living a good life despite enduring mental health problems, differing from symptom remission.
  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a complex mental health condition often requiring long-term management.
  • Understanding the concept of recovery is crucial for individuals with BPD and their treatment providers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide current information on the concept of recovery in borderline personality disorder.
  • To explore the factors contributing to recovery in individuals with BPD.

  • Keywords related to borderline personality disorder and recovery were used for the search.
  • The search covered publications from January 1990 to April 2020.

Main Results:

  • Full remission of borderline personality disorder symptoms is not always immediate or complete with treatment initiation.
  • Recovery, defined as achieving a good quality of life, is an attainable goal for individuals with BPD.
  • Patient engagement and responsibility for one's health are identified as key preconditions for recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Recovery in BPD is a viable objective, emphasizing life quality over complete symptom absence.
  • Psychotherapy, psychosocial rehabilitation, and pharmacotherapy are valuable components supporting BPD recovery.
