The workshop will be presented by Psychiatrist Dr Michelle Hungwe. ACCREDITATION: 2 CEUs VENUE: Helderberg Clinic Lounge, 2 Fijnbos Close, Strand DATE: Saturday, 17 August 2024, 09:30 to 11:30 COST: Free (Refreshments will be served) RSVP: [email protected] before 14 August ABOUT THE TOPIC: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) in adolescents presents a complex and challenging clinical picture characterized by intense emotional instability, impulsivity, and difficulty in forming stable relationships. Adolescents with BPD often experience extreme shifts in mood, from deep despair to sudden euphoria, which can lead to self-harm, reckless behaviour, and tumultuous interpersonal conflicts. These young individuals may struggle with a distorted self-image, feeling uncertain about their identity and often fearing abandonment by loved ones. Symptoms typically emerge during adolescence, a critical period of emotional development, complicating the already tumultuous journey of self-discovery and social navigation. Early identification and intervention are crucial in managing BPD in adolescents, aiming to provide support, therapeutic strategies, and a stable environment conducive to their emotional growth and recovery.
