In my experience, severe depression is easier to recover from.
You could argue SZ "episodes" are even shorter and more severely psychotic. The impact is such that there's not enough time for recovery so that the problems become chronic.
BPD is more primarily psychotic than BP2. It's always borderline psychotic, borderline schizophrenic/crazy. It's (secondarily) neurotic like SZ (just borderline).

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
