Borderline Personality Disorder may strike even when a person have been treated properly at home. This time, it could be the person’s poor social skills, which leads him/her to develop maladaptive relationships with peers. A Borderline Personality Disordered person suffers from dissociation, which must not be confused with dissociative identity disorder.
Parents or caregivers don’t just exist to provide food, shelter, love and attention, but also they need to make sure the person’s particular emotional health is addressed properly. Showering a non-responsive person with love and then abandoning him may cause more severe forms of BPD than just ignoring the him.
A BPD sees a mirror in the people around him. If a person smiles, the BPD smiles back. If the person ignores, the BPD sufferer feels ignored and he or she would go into a deeper phase of mental trauma and transient psychotic phases. The treatment is anything but simple. Recent studies have suggested a rather complicated model for the treatment. Time alone will tell what might be the outcomes.
