Impact of Music on Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder

Recent research has revealed the distinct music preferences of individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and the psychological functions that music serves for them. The study, involving 549 participants, found that individuals with BPD exhibit a clear preference for reflective and complex music genres, such as classical and jazz, over intense and rebellious ones. The severity of BPD symptoms was found to influence these preferences, indicating that music could potentially serve as a tool for emotional regulation among individuals with higher BPD symptom severity.
