THE Minister for Mental Health
and Ageing Mark Butler has launched
a new guide to assist health
professionals to recognise and treat
Borderline Personality Disorder.
The Clinical Practice Guideline for
the Management of Borderline
Personality Disorder was developed
by the National Health and Medical
Research Council (NHMRC) at the
Government’s request.
“Borderline Personality Disorder is
estimated to affect at least one per
cent of the population,” Butler said.
“It is associated with a high risk of
suicide and causes significant loss
and grief for individuals, their
families and friends.
“However, treatment for
Borderline Personality Disorder is
effective and people can recover
and lead fulfilling lives,” he added.
