Most studies show that there’s about 50% of people with BPD come from some type of abusive environment.

Someone that develops it that young, likely experienced something traumatic early in life.


And there’s 50% that don’t (given your statistic).

Going in with the preconceived notion that it’s caused by abuse without a legitimate disclosure of abuse can cause significant issues in treatment. Especially with the high rate of false accusations from someone with BPD because of the manipulation/attention seeking piece of this disorder.

BPD is a disorder based in insecure attachment. There are things that lead to attachment issues other than clear abuse. Neglect, insecure home environments, care taker substance abuse, witnessing violence in the home and/or community, bullying, etc are all factors that need to be considered. The diagnosis really isn’t the important thing here, and labelling a pre teen as “Borderline” is malpractice.
