We report a case series of all consecutive patients admitted to the 2 psychiatric inpatient units of the San Paolo University Hospital who were discharged with a diagnosis of BPD during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Milan, Italy (March 9 to May 18). In order to standardize the evaluation criteria, the following set of instruments was employed: the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) 20 was performed as a global measure of psychopathology upon admission and at discharge; the presence of stressful life events in the 12 months before the lockdown was assessed using Paykel's interview for recent life events 21 ; the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM (SCID-II) 22 was performed to evaluate the presence of a personality disorder; and the Temperament and Character Inventory-240 items (TCI-240) 23 was administered to investigate personality dimensions.	./cache/cord-292387-2xv3wgaq.txt	./txt/cord-292387-2xv3wgaq.txt
