Description

Known as Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder or Emotional Regulation Disorder, this course provides comprehensive information on a condition that is often misrepresented and misunderstood. Through studying this course, you will gain an understanding and awareness of what Borderline Personality Disorder is, how it is diagnosed, what the symptoms are, and how it is treated.

The course begins with an overview of Borderline Personality Disorder, introducing you to the condition and providing you with a basic understanding, which you will build upon as you work your way through the course.

No person with the condition presents the exact same symptoms as someone else and each person develops BPD for different reasons. In the course, you’ll discover how symptoms may present themselves and gain awareness of the various types of Borderline Personality Disorder.

With the symptoms of BPD being common with other disorders, individuals are often misdiagnosed with a different mental health disorder and others can be misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. You’ll learn about how it is diagnosed and the potential causes of the condition. The course also explains how BPD is typically treated, the limitations of treatment within the healthcare system, and which alternative treatments may help to alleviate symptoms.

BPD is, unfortunately, surrounded by myths and common misconceptions. The Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Diploma Course clears things up by analysing these popular myths and discussing the realities of the disorder, along with considering media portrayal of the condition and the damaging effects this has had on how it is perceived.

Whether as a professional, friend or family member, the Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Diploma Course explains how you can support someone with BPD and how to look after yourself as you do. The course also provides tips that talk directly to you if you have the condition yourself, offering advice on coping mechanisms that can be used for different emotions, and how to understand yourself, your triggers and how to manage your symptoms.

Who is this course for?

The Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Diploma Course can be studied simply to increase your awareness and understanding of the condition or acquire the knowledge and coping mechanisms needed to understand and manage your own symptoms if you have the condition, or to someone support with BPD.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
