Scientists probe if BPD is an addiction to love and relationships

NCT ID NCT07337889

Summary

This study is testing a new idea: that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) might be similar to an addiction, but to relationships instead of a substance. Researchers will compare 194 adults with BPD, bipolar disorder, or no mental health condition. They will use questionnaires, computer tests, and measure a brain chemical to see if people with BPD show signs of being 'addicted' to relationships and how this connects to their self-image and emotional pain.
