  • Major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) frequently co-occur, with 20% of MDD patients meeting criteria for BPD, prompting a study on how BPD traits might affect the instability of depression symptoms over time.
  • The study involved 207 adults with MDD who tracked their depression symptoms three times a day for 90 days, measuring both BPD severity and neuroticism through self-report assessments.
