Abstract in brief

ADHD and BPD in adults share similar features like impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and cognitive issues, making diagnosis challenging.
Childhood ADHD is strongly linked to the development of BPD in adulthood, and these conditions often co-occur, indicating potential overlap.
Treatments like dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) are effective for both, and neuroimaging studies suggest they might share underlying brain dysfunctions, hinting they could be related or parts of a spectrum.]
