Mood State Context
Individuals with BP II are more likely than those with BPD to have autonomous mood episodes and lacking an interpersonal context,[33] although reactive moods (e.g. secondary to substance use or psychological stressors) can be experienced. By contrast, symptoms of BPD are usually reactive,[2] generally triggered by a psychologically salient interpersonal event such as frustration, rejection or a sense of abandonment.[9,39]
