Affect Dysregulation in Borderline Personality Disorder and Somatoform Disorder: Differentiating Under- and Over-Regulation

Abstract

Although affect dysregulation is considered a core component of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and somatoform disorders (SoD), remarkably little research has focused on prevalence and nature of affect dysregulation in these disorders. BPD and SoD diagnoses were confirmed or ruled out in 472 psychiatric inpatients using clinical interviews. Three qualitatively different forms of affect dysregulation were identified: under-regulation, over-regulation of affect and combined under- and over-regulation of affect. BPD was associated with under-regulation of affect, and SoD was associated with over-regulation of affect. However, one in five patients with BPD also reported substantial over-regulation, and one in six patients with SoD reported clinically significant under-regulation, and the comorbid BPD and SoD group reported more frequently both over- and under-regulation than patients diagnosed with BPD or SoD alone or those with other psychiatric disorders.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
