Borderline personality disorder (BPD) usually emerges during adolescence and is associated with severe morbidity. Individuals with BPD are also vulnerable to develop eating disorders as well as mood disorders.. To study the prevalence of borderline personality and its association with binge-eating and bipolar spectrum disorder in college students.. A questionnaire based survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 500 college students (>18 years of age) in medical and engineering campus. Participants were screened on self-report measures including McLean Screening Instrument for BPD (MSI-BPD), Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) and Binge-Eating Disorder Screener (BEDS-7) for BPD, bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD) and binge-eating disorder (BED), respectively.. The prevalence of BPD was 76 (15.2%, 95% CI 12.3-18.6), BSD was 43 (8.6%, 95% CI 6.4-11.5) and BED was 48 (9.6%, 95% CI 7.2-12.6). There was a significantly higher proportion of BSD (OR 23.6, 95% CI 11.3-49.3) and BED (OR 3.4, 95% CI 1.8-6.5) among those with BPD than those without.. BPD was found in 15% of adolescents and they have higher proportion of BED and BSD. Early identification may help in planning early intervention strategies to reduce associated morbidity.
