What the petition asks
As an individual who has been failed by the NHS over treatment regarding BPD, I want to get the government to realise how big of an issue this is. Statistics show suicide rates are higher in individuals with BPD than the average individual. Please help us and sign this petition.
Around 9 percent of people with BPD complete suicide, which is more than 50 times the rate of suicide in the general population. Almost 80% of those with BPD report a history of suicide attempts.
