ABSTRACT

Personality disorder is viewed as different from mental illness because it is more persistent throughout adult life, whereas mental illness results from a morbid process of some kind and has a more recognisable onset and time course. A cohort study found good rates of remission in people with borderline personality disorder (78-99% at 16 year follow-up), but remission took longer to occur than in people with other personality disorders and recurrence was more common. Evidence from two randomised controlled trials also suggests that most people with this disorder will show persistent impairment of social functioning even after specialist treatment. 6
