Miami Dolphins Player Brandon Marshall admits to Borderline Personality Disorder
One of the first public personas admits to a BPD diagnosis: Dolphins’ Marshall believes disorder is the source of problems Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall, whose alleged stabbing by his wife in an April domestic dispute was the latest of a string of incidents, believes he finally knows the source of his problems. Marshall told the South Florida Sun Sentinel in Sunday’s editions that he has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

Amy Winehouse found dead at 27
It appears that Amy Winehouse has joined the “dead at 27” music crowd (Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, others). It’s sad and unfortunate. She was #1 on my BPD-o-meter because of her erratic behavior. Singer Amy Winehouse Found Dead London (CNN) — Singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her apartment in London Saturday, the UK Press Association reported. She was 27. London police said they were called to a home, which matches Winehouse’s address, Saturday afternoon in response to “a woman found deceased.” “On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene,” a police statement said. “At this…

A Review of WHINE by someone with BPD
The other day I received a review on Amazon about my book When Hope is Not Enough from an individual who identified himself as a person with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Here’s the text of the review: Got BPD? Get This! Great for Everyone Who Needs Validation!, June 16, 2011 I have BPD and I love this book! I no longer walk around feeling like BPD is stamped on my forehead and everything I say or do is a result of my lousy emotional filtering. I can constructively offer suggestions to myself (or others) on how I would rather be treated or spoken to. I can laugh with myself and my…

ABC News Experts talk about Casey Anthony’s potential disorder
An article from ABC News about Casey Anthony’s pathological lying and the disorder from which it may arise. Before I supply the text here, I want to discuss this quote: Two of the potential issues Anthony could suffer from are border personality disorder and psychopathology, the experts said. The main thing these issues have in common is a total lack of empathy, according to LeslieBeth Wish, a psychologist and licensed social worker in Sarasota, Fla. “They can turn a person into a non-person,” Wish said. “Borderline personalities have more emotional regulation problem and often use lying to get away from something and not ever feeling like they’re responsible.” Those two potential issues…
