Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is associated with unstable and intense relationships, as well as impulsive behavior. People with BPD may use self-harm or suicidal behavior as a means of regulating their emotions or manipulating those around them. This behavior is often referred to as "manipulative suicidality." While individuals with other personality disorders, such as histrionic personality disorder, may also engage in attention-seeking behavior, they may not necessarily resort to self-harm or suicide attempts.
