I agree, to a certain extent that these celebrities have personalitiy traites that are exhibited. However there is a place personality disordered people in life, and I believe these traits in western life. There is little recognition of personality disorder in the Eastern community……how is this?
When a person has one personality disorder, it can generally be crossed to three…
BPD is usually alone, but when you get a male BPD then usually see PDN and NPD and is difficult to recognise. They usually come the notice of society via A&E and the Police service. Look at the city, you’ll find them there, and with the current credit crunch, I bet that there will be quiet a few disordered reactions.
I don’t think any of these celebrities have borderline. They do have some traits but it is very hard to diagnose. To me they just seem typical celebrities put under the strain of fame. it cant be easy to handle

Laura,
There are two reasons that I post information on possible BPD in certain celebs. One is that there is no good spokesperson for BPD in the media. I wish there was. I wish, if someone actually HAS BPD, that he or she would come out and say it to help remove the stigma from the disorder. The other reason is selfish of me. I get far more traffic to my blog on BPD celebrities than any thing else. That’s unfortunate, but true. I am always hoping that, if a reader gets to the celebrity thing, they might stick around and read some of the other more substantive posts - or even buy my book, which has already helped hundreds of loved ones of people with BPD.
Thanks for the comment.
Bon
