Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sociobiological model suggests that individuals with borderline personality disorder inherit a tendency to overreact to stress and have difficulty with emotional regulation. This may be due to differences in brain structure and function, such as abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, as well as genetic factors. While childhood experiences and trauma may contribute to the development or exacerbation of BPD symptoms, they are not the primary cause according to this model. Low levels of serotonin may also play a role in BPD, but it is not the only or primary factor.
