Introduction: Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is recognized as a complex and debilitating mental condition, characterized by significant emotional instability, unstable patterns of interpersonal relationships and a distorted perception of oneself and the world around. Objective: This literature review seeks to explore the pathophysiology of BPD and examine effective therapeutic approaches, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this challenging mental condition. Methods: A literature review was conducted using academic databases, searching for studies published in the last 15 years that investigated the pathophysiology and therapeutic approaches in BPD. Forty-one studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Results and Discussion: Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) highlight neurobiological dysfunction, especially in emotional regulation. Traditional therapeutic approaches, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based interventions have shown efficacy in reducing BPD symptoms. In addition, pharmacotherapy and complementary interventions such as acupuncture and yoga offer additional treatment options, highlighting the need for an integrated and personalized approach to optimize clinical outcomes. Early diagnosis, management of comorbidities and reduction of stigma are important challenges that must be addressed in order to improve the treatment and overall functioning of individuals with BPD. Final Considerations: This review highlights the importance of integrated and personalized approaches to the treatment of BPD, with the aim of improving both symptoms and the overall functioning and quality of life of affected patients.
