Service experiences vary among individuals with BPD. Assessing suicide risk poses a challenge for clinicians, with patients underestimating the lethality of self-harm behaviors. The suicide risk among people with BPD is significantly higher than that of the general population, characterized by a history of multiple suicide attempts during crises. Notably, about half of all individuals who commit suicide are diagnosed with a personality disorder, with BPD being the most common association.
