I was reading up on mental illnesses and when I started reading about BPD, there were some statistics and numbers that *seriously* baffled me. Is anyone here is qualified to answer 2 questions about this? I just found these numbers really crazy so I don't believe them!

* Is it correct that as many as 1-2% of the population has it?

* Is it correct that 75% of those with BPD have attempted suicide?

Here's the article I read this on: http://psychcentral.com/lib/living-with-borderline-personality-disorder/?all=1
