title: [Suicide in patients with borderline personality disorder].
abstract: Patients with borderline personality disorder present a clinical challenge, largely because of their chronic suicidality. Long-term outcome research shows that about 10 per cent of borderline patients will eventually complete suicide, but that is difficult to predict which patients are at highest risk. There is no evidence at present that treatment prevents suicide. Clinical recommendations are made, suggesting that suicide prevention should not be the major priority of therapy of these patients.
