YouTube\u2122 use may be especially appealing when offline supports are lacking or difficult to access, and when there is a fear of stigmatisation. Borderline personality disorder (BPD), also referred to as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD), is a complex and often stigmatised mental-health disorder. The primary objective of this study was to describe the dominant messages that individuals who self-identify with the diagnosis of BPD present through YouTube\u2122 videos.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The content analysis method was used to review 349 first-person YouTube\u2122 uploads. Videos were coded for information regarding video and vlogger characteristics, video type, vlogger motivation and video content. Associations between video features including upload date and style and vlogger experience and motivation were examined.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings indicate that more people who self-identify as being diagnosed with BPD are creating YouTube\u2122 videos about their experiences, and these videos have shifted over time from being mostly anonymous multimedia productions to being monologues where the vlogger speaks directly to their audience. Discussions related to DSM-5 symptoms, treatment, effective coping and hope for the future are elements found in the uploads.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The nature and content of BPD first-person YouTube\u2122 uploads has increased and changed over time. Increased awareness of these changes may assist mental-health practitioners to support clients and direct them to explore uploads that offer hope and promote engagement in help-seeking and effective coping behaviours.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/2055207620932336","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,12]],"date-time":"2020-06-12T06:40:55Z","timestamp":1591944055000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Features of YouTube\n                    <sup>\u2122<\/sup>\n                    videos produced by individuals who self-identify with borderline personality disorder"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Vera","family":"Woloshyn","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Brock University, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9165-8569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael J","family":"Savage","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brock University, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psc.2018.07.008"},{"key":"bibr2-2055207620932336","volume-title":"Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders","author":"American Psychiatric Association (APA)","year":"1980","edition":"3"},{"key":"bibr3-2055207620932336","volume-title":"ICD-10: International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems","author":"World Health Organization","year":"1992","edition":"10"},{"key":"bibr4-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/pedi.2012.26.4.551"},{"key":"bibr5-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291708004911"},{"key":"bibr6-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-016-0939-x"},{"key":"bibr7-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"bibr8-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2016.05.048"},{"key":"bibr9-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jts.21699"},{"key":"bibr10-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3402\/ejpt.v5.25097"},{"key":"bibr11-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.janxdis.2016.09.002"},{"key":"bibr12-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12888-014-0380-y"},{"key":"bibr13-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijnurstu.2015.10.019"},{"key":"bibr14-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11920-015-0654-1"},{"key":"bibr15-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/NDT.S114671"},{"key":"bibr16-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0220233"},{"key":"bibr17-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2010.09.030"},{"key":"bibr18-2055207620932336","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7208\/chicago\/9780226924571.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr19-2055207620932336","unstructured":"ComScore.
