Adult treatment models with demonstrated efficacy have been adapted for adolescents. This article describes the implementation of these treatment approaches, factors that frequently complicate the recognition and diagnosis of BPD in young people, and an overview of research on BPD in adolescents that delineates its clinically relevant features.

Previous research suggests a connection between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and somatic comorbidities, underscoring the importance of lifestyle and health-related behaviour (LHRB) in the emergence of BPD. We investigated LHRBs-physical activity, sleeping and overeating-among young people at different BPD stages compared to a matched community sample.
