Wales This Week: BPD and Me
Up to 60,000 people in Wales are believed to be living with borderline personality disorder, a condition which is often linked to traumatic events in the past.
Wales This Week follows Wales rugby player Donna Rose, who was diagnosed with the condition 11 years ago and is on a mission to see what’s being done to support others with BPD in Wales.
