"All told, 50% of the borderline patients studied achieved a recovery from borderline personality disorder-an outcome that required being symptomatically remitted and having good social and vocational functioning during the past two years. In contrast, 93% of borderline patients attained a symptomatic remission lasting two years and 86% attained a sustained symptomatic remission that lasted four years. In terms of stability of these outcomes, 34% of borderline patients lost their recovery from borderline personality disorder. A similar 30% had a symptomatic recurrence after a two-year long remission but only 15% experienced a symptomatic recurrence after a sustained remission."

These results also suggest that such a recovery once attained is relatively stable over time." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... "Retrospective studies have shown that symptoms resolve over time, with 75% of patients at 15-year follow-up and 92% of patients at 27-year follow-up no longer having the disorder. One large, well-conducted 10-year prospective study found that 93% of those with borderline personality disorder had at least a 2-year period of remission https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... 256 different presentations of borderline
