Britney Spears and Mel Gibson
The only reason I posted this here is because Britney Spears actually started my foray into discussing Borderline Personality Disorder and celebrities. I only do it because I would like for some celeb to come out of the closet (or “off the couch”) and just admit that they have the disorder. To me it would go a long way to removing the stigma. The only one who has come close is Megan Fox. She mentioned borderline when referring to herself, but she has not been diagnosed – well, not that we know of. Anyway, old Mel Gibson seems to have some sort of disorder and some people have mentioned borderline.…

Update on Britney Spears and Borderline Personality Disorder
An ex-member of my Google email list sent me a message telling me that the media is reporting that K-Fed’s attorneys are saying that Britney Spears has “some sort of bipolar disorder.” Some sort? Sounds like Bipolar II or Borderline to me. Recently, one publication told the media to “stop diagnosing her!” OK, well… at my daughter’s therapist last Monday, Time magazine mentioned Borderline in a sidebar called ” What’s wrong with Britney?” (or something like that). More updates soon…

Does Britney Spears have Borderline Personality Disorder?
It was widely reported in the press after Britney Spear’s “breakdown” and stand-off with the police over the return of her children that she has “a bipolar disorder.” See this excerpt from TMZ.com: TMZ reported that Spears’ friends “have known for a while that Britney has a very serious mental condition — likely a bipolar disorder that is now in the red zone.” I think the language here is quite important. Borderline Personality Disorder is so maligned that not a single celebrity has come out and stated that they have the disorder. Bipolar disorder, on the other hand, is not considered just the result of “bad behavior” – it is…

What I learnt when I tried to kill myself
It’s all too easy to glamourise suicide once it’s happened. To pack out a funeral ceremony, dripping platitudes, telling everyone you “wish you’d known”. But if the potential suicide victim “fails”? What I learnt when I tried to kill myself What do you do when everyone knows what you did? By Charlotte Dingle A few weeks ago I joined the same exclusive club as Drew Barrymore, Eminem, Britney Spears and a host of other celebs. Like your average A-list party, there was plenty of booze and a few pills involved. There was a trip to casualty, too – again, not atypical. But this was a party of one. Mired in…
