  • Feeling of emptiness
  • Quarrelsome personality with sarcasm, anger, and antagonism

These symptoms can also increase the risk of other mental health challenges, such as addiction, depression, and eating disorders.

Risk Factors and Development of BPD

The exact causes of BPD are not known, but several risk factors can increase its likelihood:

  • Family history of mental health problems, especially BPD
  • Childhood neglect or abuse (emotional, physical, and/or sexual)
  • Smaller than normal hippocampus size (part of the brain that regulates stress response and emotions)
  • Death or abandonment by a parent or caregiver during childhood
