“…We chose to control for diagnostic categories and for risk factors found in literature regarding the subject, limiting ourselves to those that were well documented in our primary data. We thus ended up controlling for gender [ 31 ], age [ 32 ], living in a residential psychiatric therapeutic environment [ 37 ], being homeless [ 28 ] and belonging to a Covid-19 risk group [ 38 ]. Since suicidality and self-harming behaviors are one of the key traits to BPD [ 39 , 40 ], we decided to further discriminate between BPD and other PD.…”
