Why does Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) actually develop? For years, pop psychology told people it was a character flaw or entirely bad parenting—but modern neuroscience tells a much more accurate and compassionate story. In this video, we're taking a deep dive into Marsha Linehan’s Biosocial Theory: the collision between a hyper-reactive biological nervous system and an invalidating environment.
