Borderline

A disorder that includes, in interpersonal relationships, inappropriate, intense, uncontrolled anger; identity disturbance; instability of affect; intolerance of being alone; physically self-damaging acts; and feelings of emptiness.


Not clearly belonging to either one of two categories.


Referring to a medical condition likely to develop in someone unless an effort is made to prevent it.


Characterized by emotional instability and self-destructive behaviour.


An incomplete state, as in a borderline diagnosis, in a patient who has some of the requirements for a definite diagnosis but not enough for certainty; a condition judged numerically (e.g., high blood pressure in which the value is close to a hypertensive level but not at a diagnostic level).
