Isagulova Elena Yurievna

Patients with addictive behaviors comorbid with borderline personality disorder experience worse clinical outcomes. Significant gaps remain in determining the optimal treatment pathway for this group of patients. This is primarily due to the difficulty in diagnosing addictive behaviors in their combination with borderline personality disorder, which may be a product of psychological features of adolescence that aggravate the course of such comorbid conditions. The aim of the study was to identify psychological features of adolescents with addictive behavior comorbid with borderline personality disorder.
