This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The PANDA trial is testing whether adding physical activity—either karate classes or a personalized walking program—can help people with borderline or avoidant personality disorder alongside their regular treatment. Researchers want to see if movement and exercise can improve emotional regulation, relationships, and how people feel about themselves, while also checking that these programs are safe and acceptable for patients.
Many people with personality disorders struggle with emotional regulation and self-image, and standard treatments don't always address all these needs. This trial explores whether adding structured physical activity might give patients an extra tool to manage their symptoms and improve their overall well-being.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: regular treatment only, regular treatment plus twice-weekly karate classes for 8 weeks, or regular treatment plus a personalized walking program using a pedometer for 8 weeks. You'll attend a baseline visit before the study starts and complete follow-up assessments to track changes in your mood, relationships, fitness, and how you feel. The study team will ask about your experience with the program to understand what works best.
