Summary
This study tested whether watching short online videos about borderline personality disorder (BPD) could help people recently diagnosed with the condition. 83 adults with BPD watched either BPD-specific videos or general mental health videos over two weeks and completed daily surveys and cognitive tests. The goal was to see if better understanding of BPD and feedback on thinking skills could reduce symptoms.
