TL;DR: Using the same Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth version (DSM-V) criteria as in adults, borderline personality disorder in adolescents is defined as a 1-year pattern of immature personality development with disturbances in at least five of the following domains: efforts to avoid abandonment, unstable interpersonal relationships, identity disturbance, impulsivity, suicidal and self-mutilating behaviors.

TL;DR: The use of avoidant strategies by adolescents with BPD could be viewed as attempts to increase emotional regulation and problem-solving strategies in the immediate aftermath of a suicide attempt may prevent adolescents withBPD from overcoming a crisis and may increase suicidal ideation.

TL;DR: The available evidence suggests potential efficacy of psychotherapies which have previously been developed for internalizing and externalizing disorders in subjects with severely dysregulated mood and potential areas for improvements in research designs are identified.

TL;DR: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and history of prior suicide attempt (SA) are examined to improve youth suicide prevention and the efficacy of reinforcing early interventions for anxiety disorders and NSSI.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that a history of SA and seeking psychiatric care with medication are risk factors for SA relapse, however, productive coping strategies and cooperativeness are protective factors, and the improvement of such strategies as well as treatment of persisting depression should be a goal of psychotherapy treatment offered to suicidal adolescents.
