BPD and Behaviour Reddit Dataset (BBRD)

The BPD and Behaviour Reddit Dataset (BBRD) comprises public Reddit data
(posts and meta-data), from the r/BPD and r/BorderlinePDisorder
subreddits, of 992 unique Reddit users with self-identified borderline
personality disorder (BPD; BPD self-identification was manually verified
from Reddit posts). This dataset spans from October 2011 - December 2023,
and includes all posts (i.e., submissions and comments) made by the 992
users with self-identified BPD to the BPD subreddits named above between
these dates (excluding the majority of short posts that contain fewer than
25 words). In total, this dataset contains 68,590 posts from the 992
users. Specifically, the BBRD contains the posts themselves (including
both submissions and comments; text data has been cleaned) in addition to
post meta-data, such as post dates and times, post scores (upvotes minus
downvotes), number of comments that submissions received, and the
subreddit the post was made on. Further, this dataset also comprises
manually annotated (by trained raters) demographic characteristics of
users (e.g., age, gender, etc.) and manually annotated clinically
meaningful behaviours and events (i.e., behaviours related to suicidality
[suicide attempts and ideation] and deliberate self-harm, distinguishing
between recent and past occurrences; psychiatric medication usage; therapy
behaviours; substance use; impulsive behaviours; psychotic symptoms;
social behaviours; intense emotions). The manual annotation of clinically
meaningful behaviours and events was done for around ~17,000 posts. Refer

for the BBRD. For ethical reasons, the data is only available for
non-commercial research upon request after signing a data usage agreement,
due to its sensitive nature relating to severe mental health issues,
combined with thorough manual coding of characteristics and events. Please
