Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: Borderline personality disorder is traditionally considered as a chronically disabling condition with a poor prognosis.However,several prospective,long term follow up studies have found that most patients with BPD experience a remission from the disorder ,and only a few experience a full recovery over the course of their lives rarely.These studies indicate that symptoms of BPD wax and wane over time,although more acute,behavioural symptoms of the disorder tend to remit rapidly and recur rarely.
