Reynolds CJ, et al. - Researchers examined the association between core features of borderline personality disorder and rates of being on disability benefits due to chronic pain conditions via analyzing 147 chronic pain patients from a multimodal chronic pain clinic. Findings revealed increased rates of pain disability, general disability, and unemployment in correlation with borderline personality disorder features, particularly negative relationships, in this chronic pain sample. Even after controlling for pain severity and interference, depression, and trait anxiety, they identified borderline personality disorder features to be correlated with the raised probability of currently being on disability due to pain conditions, on disability due to other conditions, and unemployed.
