Best Answer

Borderline personality disorder has a poor outlook because noncompliance with treatment is common. But when someone is committed to treatment and stays in therapy often times they are treated with DBT(Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) the prognosis can be good. BPD is also said to be outgrown in certain instances as are other personality disorders but not in all cases.
