A diathesis stress explanation would say that certain individuals may have a genetic propensity to anxiety and emotional instability. When this genetic propensity is stressed by life experiences the person develops this disorder. For example, these individuals report high rates of either sexual, emotional, or physical abuse during childhood. Some also report abuse by people in authority (including healthcare workers) as adults. Other patients report coming from broken homes. However, not all people who come from broken homes or who are abused develop borderline personality disorder; this is why it is suspected that there may be a genetic component. There are other theories and research out there, but the diathesis stress model is a common theory for many mental disorders.
