Prevention of Borderline Personality Disorder

There is no real understanding of how to prevent Borderline Personality Disorder.  Cause is believed to be the result of environmental and genetic factors.  One way to possibly prevent BDP is to remove a child from a potentially risky situation and place them in a loving and nurturing family.  Children showing symptoms from birth would be best placed under psychiatric care at the earliest age possible.  While it is extremely rare, there are situations where Borderline Personality Disorder can arise in even the most supportive family.
