Abstract: The personality of a man determines how an individual deal with situations or gets along in life, thus, instability of personality is referred to as Personality Disorder. The focus of this research is on borderline personality disorder (BPD) in cluster B of Personality Disorder. Early diagnosis of BPD can prevent more serious mental health disorders; thus, researchers have developed a BPD expert system for early detection of BPD. Previous BPDs expert systems did not indicate the severity level of a person disorderliness. This makes decision-making by a human expert using the BPD expert system for treatment or therapy proportionally impaired and conclusive. Nevertheless, severity can be used as a flag that determines the type of treatment a patient needs such as the use of a drug or psychotherapy, thus aiding human experts in a better decision-making process. Two expert systems were built, one for diagnosis and the other for indicating severity level based on the symptoms diagnosed.
