Additionally, they should practice self-care by engaging in activities that bring them joy and relaxation. Finally, it is important to find a support system of friends and family who can provide emotional support.

It is characterized by intense mood swings, unstable relationships, impulsive behaviors, and problems with self-image and identity.
