What Causes Borderline Personality Disorder?

We adopted our daughter right out of the hospital. She was a good baby and perfectly beautiful. As months went by it was obvious to me she was very bright . She began reading at 2. Then as a toddler she became a challenge for me because i expected her to be advanced in different ares of developement such as potty training. I would become frustrated and so would she .this continued in other areas. I think now that all the problems she had sleeping could have been caused by stress. Could I have caused her to develope borderline personality disorder.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Borderline personality disorder is now considered a biological disorder and is supposed to have a significant genetic cause. Its very unlikely that your parenting style could have led to borderline personality disorder. Dont blame yourself much.
Dialectical behavioural therapy is a good option for borderline personality disorder and effective in many cases as well.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
