Brief Summary

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability and impulsivity. Several North American prospective studies support the high level of mental health care utilization in this population. There is little data in other systems of health organization, such as France. Furthermore, little is known on the variables associated with the mental health service utilization among BPD patients. The main objective was to compare the utilization of mental health care among BPD patients, to the general population and patients with another personality disorder (PD) and to describe the demographic and clinical factors associated with the group of patients who use the most health care.

Study Arms (2)

Psychiatric patients group

Patient groups were composed with: BPD, other PD and assessed Psychologic test

Behavioral: Psychologic test

Control group

Matched controls (age, sex) composed the 3rd and 4th group (BPD control and other PD control). They were randomly chosen in the health database insurance previously used. They had no intervention.

Other: No intervention

Interventions

Assessment by a psychologist including the Structured Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM)-IV Personality Disorders (SIDP-IV) was given straight to those who had a score above 28. This questionnaire allowed us to distinguish one group of subjects with BPD and a group with other PD (without BPD). Clinical evaluation included Axis I (MINI), Axis II (SIDP-IV), psychopathological features (YSQ-I, Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40), demographic variables and therapeutic alliance (Haq-II).
