First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 688 adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD) for 5 years to see if feeling shame can predict suicide attempts. Researchers will also look for biological markers and protective treatments. No new drug or therapy is being tested—this is purely an observation study to better understand the link between shame and suicidal behavior.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors identify who is at higher risk for suicide attempts based on feelings of shame, leading to better prevention strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve symptoms, and results may not apply to everyone with borderline personality disorder.
