Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Borderline personality disorder is characterized by unstable relationships and emotions. People with BPD often have a pattern of idealizing others and seeking their validation, but then they may become angry or resentful if they feel rejected or dismissed. This can lead to intense, unstable relationships that are marked by alternating periods of affection and hostility. Hoarding disorder is characterized by difficulty discarding items, antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of empathy and disregard for others' rights, and conversion disorder is characterized by physical symptoms that have no clear medical explanation. None of these disorders are closely associated with the pattern of extreme adulation followed by loathing that is characteristic of BPD.
