The hallmark symptom that people describe is emotion dysregulation — you’re happy one moment, and the next moment you’re feeling angry or sad or depressed. People with BPD can cycle through emotions, usually negative ones, quite rapidly. New insights into the ‘borderline personality’ brain (link) New work by University of Toronto Scarborough researchers gives the [...] Now that we know the specific brain mechanisms associated with empathy, we can translate these findings into disease categories and learn why these empathic responses are deficient in neuropsychiatric illnesses, such as autism. Specific Brain Region Tied to Empathy (read the Article at PsychCentral) By TRACI PEDERSEN Associate News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, [...] Personality disorders could be more effectively diagnosed by identifying and targeting the disrupted neurobiological systems where the disorders originate, report Cornell researchers.

Neurobiology Informs Successful Psychotherapy for BPD Mark Moran A common feature of all psychotherapies for borderline personality disorder is activation of the prefrontal cortex through reappraisal of painful affect states generated by a hyperactive amygdala. Neurobiological research can help psychotherapists tailor talking [...] Simon Baron-Cohen has been giving interviews about his new book The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty in which he discusses “mind-blindness” in autism and the lack of empathy in other disorders, including BPD. Here is the text of the interview he gave to Time magazine.
