	Emotionally unstable personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder is a medical diagnosis equivalent to Borderline Personality Disorder but belonging to the ICD-10 system of classification.
		There is personal distress, or adverse impact on the social environment, or both, clearly attributable to the behaviour referred to in criterion 2.
		The deviation cannot be explained as a manifestation or consequence of other adult mental disorders, although episodic or chronic conditions from sections F00-F59 or F70-F79 of this classification may coexist with, or be superimposed upon, the deviation.

	Borderline personality disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined within psychiatry and related fields as a disorder characterized primarily by emotional dysregulation, extreme "fl and white" thinking in some areas, and turbulent relationships.
		While a patient with depression or bipolar disorder typically endures the same mood for weeks, a person with BPD may experience intense bouts of depression, anxiety, or anger that may last only hours, or at most a day.
		Victims of this disorder may be very intelligent, loving people with strong personalities in terms of holding opinions and defending their ideas, but their self-image is damaged and they seek fulfilment sometimes in very bad environments.
