This observational study is looking at the relationship between oxytocin (a hormone involved in social bonding) levels, trust, and attachment in individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Researchers will measure your oxytocin levels, emotional sensitivity, and how you play a trust-based game. They will also ask about childhood trauma and attachment styles. The study aims to see if there's a difference in trust-related behavior and oxytocin levels between people with BPD and those without, and how emotional sensitivity and childhood trauma might play a role. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have BPD, and do not have certain medical conditions or take regular medications. The current recruitment status is unclear.
