This quiz is designed for young adults, or the family members of young adults, who are noticing patterns of intense emotions, unstable relationships, fears of abandonment, or shifts in self-image that may be interfering with everyday life. These experiences could be symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD).
This quiz is not a diagnosis but it can be a helpful first step in understanding what you or your loved one may be going through. Our goal is to offer a space for reflection and to help you explore whether additional support might be helpful.
