What Causes Borderline Personality Disorder and What Can We Do? -A Brief Literature Review on The Etilology of BPD in The Last 20 Years

Abstract

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is an increasingly prevalent psychological disorder in modern society, with approximately 1-2% of the population suffering from it, but its etiology is still unknown. The search for the causes of BPD is urgent, as research into the etiological mechanisms is crucial to clinical diagnosis and treatment. This paper has shown that significant advances have been made in the biological and psychological fields regarding the causes of BPD. Besides, macro-environmental factors also significantly impact BPD, such as discrimination and stigmatization of psychological problems and a lack of attention to mental health care. This paper aims to update the latest research on the etiology of BPD, draw out new findings from it, and suggest what can be changed and what can be done within our control.
