Borderlines usually do very well to therapy. Once diagnosed, within 10 years they can lead the most normal lives. I know this because I was diagnosed and through intensive therapy was able to see how abusive my family was and want to change. Most studies show that with about 10 borderlines, in 10 years 3 are cured, 4 have shown great recovery and 3 are still the same, struggling.
Borderlines, about half recover. Other personality disorders are much harder.
Personality disorders are generally considered to arise from a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and social factors rather than being purely learned behaviors. While certain experiences, such as trauma or dysfunction in early relationships, can influence personality development, the underlying traits are often rooted in biological predispositions. Thus, while aspects of personality can be shaped by experiences, personality disorders themselves are not simply learned; they reflect deeper, more ingrained patterns of thinking and behavior.
In principle it ought to be possible to treat sociopaths, but generally they do their utmost to avoid treatment. It's also said that their inability to learn (from experience) causes problems.

The five types of presenting problems, ranked from most risk to least recovery, generally include severe mental illness (like schizophrenia), substance use disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and adjustment disorders. Severe mental illnesses often carry the highest risk due to their complexity and impact on functioning. Substance use disorders can also pose significant challenges, particularly when combined with other issues. In contrast, adjustment disorders and anxiety disorders typically have better recovery prospects with appropriate interventions.
Generally, no. Stealing for profit is a typical, though unsavory, normal, human behavior.

Each personality disorder is classified into one of three "clusters": clusters A, B, or C. Cluster A is called the "eccentric" cluster, and it includes schizotypal, paranoid, and schizoid personality disorders. Cluster B is called the "dramatic" or "erratic" cluster, and it includes ASPD (another name for sociopathy), borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorder. Cluster C is called the "anxious" or "dependent" cluster, and it includes avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. Cluster B is the one that shares the most characteristics with sociopathy. Borderline personality disorder is a disorder that is characterized by emotional instability. People with borderline generally are described as "childish", and they often feel as if they are victimized. Their emotional swings often resemble those of sociopathy. Histrionic personality disorder is characterized by attention seeking, including excess seduction, being the "life of the party" even if there isn't a party, and have quick mood swings (which is something that all of Cluster B has in common). This disorder is similar to sociopathy because of the need for all of the attention to be on them. Finally, we come to narcissistic personality disorder. Those with narcissistic personality disorder think of themselves as the greatest thing alive. They are bad at taking criticism in any way. They require constant attention, and they may lie to achieve their own goals. The main reason that those with narcissistic personality disorder resemble sociopaths, though, is because they feel little to no empathy. To sum that long answer up, borderline personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of its mood swings, histrionic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the attention-seeking, and narcissistic personality disorder resembles sociopathy because of the near or full lack of empathy.
