People diagnosed with BPD are highly heterogeneous and experience high levels of comorbidity. The low quality of the evidence for the treatment of BPD in adolescence limits our ability to develop evidence-based guidelines. Accordingly, there is no clear case for BPD early intervention as a major component of youth mental health services. The introduction of ICD-11 classification system may facilitate further empirical studies of personality disorders in adolescence and emerging adulthood.
