- Causes
- Environmental factors — such as a history of child abuse or neglect. Also, genetics may be a cause
because studies of twins and families suggest that personality disorders may be inherited. Brain
abnormalities may be a cause because research has shown changes in certain areas of the brain
involved in emotion regulation, impulsivity and aggression.
