Expert System for Screening of Borderline Personality Disorder

Abstract

Individuals who have symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) usually experience intense feelings of hatred, anger, depression, or anxiety. These feelings are often frightening, overwhelming and difficult to control. In the midst of intense emotions, individuals with BPD may act impulsively to reduce emotional pain, calm themselves, or communicate emotional distress. This results in 10% of people with BPD dying by suicide. The system is made to anticipate and minimize these problems. The expert system built in this study can measure a person's level of borderline personality disorder, so that it can increase knowledge in the general public to help someone who is detected as having mental health problems or BPD. The certainty factor method is used to assume the degree of confidence in the value used, and Forward chaining as forward tracking which starts from gathering facts and events that support the assumption/hypothesis, until a conclusion is obtained. Based on tests using 50 test data using accuracy testing, it shows that the CF method has a presentation of 100% accuracy in the test results that have been carried out in this study.
