      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: There are no unique specifications, Randomization description: Following patients' examinations in the Iran Psychiatric Hospital and reviewing the inclusion criteria and eliminating patients who have exclusion criteria, they are divided into two groups by simple randomization, and a code was specified to every patient, Blinding description: The researcher does not know whether the patient being evaluated belongs to the placebo group or the memantine group. The patients also do not know if they have used placebo or memantine. Drugs and placebos are similar in appearance, such as color, shape, and so on. The patient (placebo or treatment groups) receives the drug in encoded packets. The coding is done by the psychiatrist and the evaluator and the patient are blind.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The placebo group will receive a placebo for 12 weeks. At the end of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8,  BPD symptoms will be evaluated by the Best test. Blood samples will be gathered before the intervention and at the end of the treatment period. Patients take a placebo daily which is made in Iran. Intervention 2: The treatment group will receive a placebo for 8 weeks. The patients will take 10 mg Memantine daily in week 9. followed by 20 mg Memantine daily from week 10 to 12.   At the end of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8,  BPD symptoms will be evaluated by the Best test. Blood samples will be gathered before the intervention and at the end of the treatment period. Memantine is made in Tasnim Darou Company in Iran.</i_freetext>
