Is BPD always extreme

I'm looking for advice on BPD and I'm wondering if it is always extreme. I've been researching it and I'm finding a lot of conflicting information out there. Is it possible to have BPD without it being extreme? Are there any treatment options that can help someone with milder symptoms? I'm hoping to get some insight from other forum users who have experience with BPD or know someone who does. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
