This study is testing if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain cells, can help improve symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Researchers will measure changes in your BPD symptoms using questionnaires like the Borderline Symptom List 23 (BSL-23) and the Clinical Global Impression for Borderline Personality Disorder (CGI-BPD), and also look at how well you regulate emotions. You may be able to join if you are 18-65 years old, have a BPD diagnosis, and speak English fluently. The study plans to enroll up to 30 participants, but its current status is unclear.
