Objective: This study aimed to examine the discriminative capacity of Dimensional Clinical Personality Inventory 2 (IDCP-2) factors in identifying individuals with elevated Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) traits within a Brazilian community sample while proposing an optimal cutoff score for distinguishing high BPD trait levels.

Methods: The participant cohort consisted of 1,469 adults who completed assessments, including the Level of Personality Functioning Scale - Brief Form 2.0 (LPFS), Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5), IDCP-2, and Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV - Personality Questionnaire (PQ-SCID-II).

Recent studies have explored the impact of personality traits, including mood swings, on physical health. However, it remains unclear whether there is a direct cause-and-effect link between mood swings and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). A STROBE-compliant cross-sectional observational study was conducted and analyzed using a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to examine the potential causal relationship between mood swings and a range of CVDs, such as arrhythmia, artery aneurysm, coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, hypertension, stroke, ischemic stroke, and peripheral artery disease.

The discriminant validity of paranoid personality disorder has been recently questioned, and paranoid presentations are now conceived of as transdiagnostic features of personality disorders (PDs). However, empirical results are inconsistent. This study investigated the link between subclinical personality disorders (except paranoid PD) and paranoid presentations, exploring how the severity of personality functioning affects this relationship.

The phenomenological differences in auditory hallucinations between schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are unclear in the existing literature, in part due to underpowered studies and heterogeneous research populations that do not represent those in the acute clinical setting. This study addresses this by using patient records to compare auditory hallucinations at the point of clinical psychiatric assessment for 341 unique patients, 165 with BPD and 176 with schizophrenia. Patients with BPD were found to have more subjectively distressing and objectively negative hallucinations, as well as more command hallucinations.
