Current researchers say that there is not a single, specific gene for borderline personality disorder. The genes that increase risk for BPD may be passed on by people who have the disorder itself, or a related disorder, such as bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But there is other causes of Borderline personality disorder, it can all depend on the environment that the person is in. Such as early separation from one or both parents, repeated emotional, physical or sexual abuse by someone within or outside of the family, and inconsistent, unsupportive care. Poor parenting can also include failing to protect the child from repeated abuse by the other parent, another member of the family, or an outsider.
