Doctors, what are the causes of borderline personality disorder?

Difficult childhoods: Imho, children who are confronted with very stressful relationships in early childhood fail to learn healthy boundaries (borders). They may alternate being rejected and being overwhelmed by inappropriate intimacy with a parent. Things are understood in extremes - awful or wonderful. This is confusing and creates insecurity. Hot/cold, on/off, lover/enemy. A middle, shade of grey is scary/boring.

Borderline : There is no easy answer to this. Borderline personality disorder, as well as the human condition in general are shaped by genetic factors in combination with environmental factors.
