Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a severe, often debilitating mental disorder that affects approximately 2% of individuals in the community1 and up to 20% of psychiatric inpatient samples.2 In general, BPD typical behavior includes impulsivity, affective instability, and difficulty in controlling anger. These behaviors are manifestations of a core syndrome of BPD: pervasive malfunction of the affect regulation system.2- 4 Self-reported impulsivity seems to be a stable trait over time and highly predictive of BPD psychopathology over long-term follow-up.5
