Emotional empathy and Borderline

The first of few RCT studies to show in 47 women with Borderline in 2018 that stress leads to reduced emotional empathy, see here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acps.12856 . It states "The current finding provides first evidence that stress differentially affects emotional empathy in patients with BPD and healthy individuals such that patients with BPD showed reduced emotional empathy compared to healthy women after stress." Another in 2023 also indicated that 98 women had lower emotional empathy due to social exclusion, see here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00406-022-01535-0 Although, still in its early infancy in the research literature, evidence is beginning to suggest that egocentrism and variations of empathy when in their dramatic, emotionally reactive states is the core symptom of the condition, and deserves a mention somewhere in the article.

Typo

In the manipulation section:

"In one research study, 88% of therapists reported that they have experinced manipualtion attempts from patient(s)." 144.118.77.123 (talk) 19:24, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

paragraph duplication

The two paragraphs before the symptoms title contain the same information with different phrasings. 2A02:14F:17C:B4EE:0:0:1B0B:339B (talk) 01:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that, fixed. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article is too big

At almost 10,000 words this article should definitely be trimmed, per WP:TOOBIG. I suggest we create articles for some sections, such as Causes of borderline personality disorder (redirect to the "Causes" section), diagnosis, signs and symptoms; like we already do for management and misdiagnosis.

I agree, I’ve done copyediting to most of the current content. Snipping out excess or twice-repeated content. However, for the most part it was just fact checking, updating some facts that play an important role, and letting it all flow nicely. I’m sitting with the following facts after my huge copyedit:
  1. Causes should be grouped into three: genetic, neurobiologic, psychosocial. And then we expand if so on the new research into that.
  2. In diagnosis, we put the criteria into prose, possibly removing the subtypes or prosing the subtypes by Millon as I haven’t seen their substantiveness in all the medical literature I’ve read there isn’t much mention of them?
  3. Adolescence should move more forward or to a separate section termed prodrome where like schizophrenia there may be a prodrome or adolescence behaviour pre-disease pattern prior to developing the disease, as this is so “pervasive” unlike a mood disorder there is a prodrome of sorts I’ve picked up on although that is original research.
  4. The differential diagnosis section is giving me the “ick”. It’s very overwhelming as summarised BPD can occur comorbid with a lot of other conditions, and not so typically talked about vice versa, if you get what I mean. And it speaks of the statistics in the old terms of Axis I and II instead of Sections I and II and I think we should speak of them in comorbid other personality d/o and comorbid other mental d/o (like mood d/o, trauma d/o etc.)
  5. Management I need to tackle the main article, then we can filter what needs to be there knit pick onto the BPD article, maybe by {transclusion}? -- I’ve never done that before so you’re suggestions would be appreciated.
  6. Epi I touched a little with the latest stats
  7. Prognosis and History and Controversies I haven’t touched at all!!

I agree with all the points, I will start by putting the criteria into prose. The Blue Rider 17:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@The Blue Rider I don't think there's anything wrong with it being long it provides the most information 45.19.219.33 (talk) 19:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
