The researchers Esperanza María González Marín, Juliana Andrea Montoya Otálvaro and Mónica Alexandra Cadavid Buitrago from the Psychology program of the María Cano University Foundation, Medellín headquarters, have published the article: «Borderline personality disorder (BPD), early adverse experiences and biases cognitive disorders: a systematic review», in The Journal of Research and Innovation in Health Sciences – RIICS.

In this paper, the authors present a systematic review on the role of early adverse experiences, such as abuse, neglect, and abandonment, as risk factors in the development of borderline personality disorder. BPD is a mental disorder characterized by unstable relationships, impulsive behavior, and intense emotions. Recent research supports the idea that early adverse experiences can lead to neurodevelopmental changes, which contribute to the wide range of BPD symptoms and to cognitive biases, such as distorted ways of thinking, which in turn affect the course of symptoms. . For example, individuals with BPD may have a negative view of themselves, believe that they are unlovable, or have difficulty trusting others. These cognitive biases hinder the ability of people with BPD to cope with stress and maintain healthy relationships.
