    Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse Friends – a match made in heaven?

    June 9, 2008 / No Comments

    Well, I found out today that Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty are hanging out together. Wow! What a match. Amy is leading my celeb-o-meter of possible celebrities with BPD, and Pete has (maybe) jumped to the head of the line and pinned the meter with his blood paintings, self-harm, drug usage and you name what else. I guess there’s some sort of attraction to someone like you. According to most sites, it’s platonic – but would can have sex after doing a boat load of drugs anyway? No related posts.

    Why Pete Doherty has jumped to the front of the line for BPD celebs

    April 28, 2008 / 8 Comments

    OK, well, the other day I posted on how Pete Doherty has jumped to the top of my Celebrities with Borderline Personality Disorder (possibly, but not for sure) list. Why? Well, he just released a series of paintings done in his own blood. Let’s examine the other “evidence” of possible BPD…. (For those of you who don’t know who Pete Doherty is: he’s the lead singer of two British bands: Babyshambles and the Libertines. He dated Kate Moss and he is a regular in the tabloids in London for his erratic and criminal behavior.) Self-Harm Painting in one’s own blood seems to indicate self-harm. Here’s another article about Doherty’s self-harm.…

    Amy Winehouse Crops Up Again

    March 6, 2008 / 2 Comments

    This morning I read an article about Amy Winehouse supposedly putting a cigarette out on her cheek. Of course Winehouse is the #1 candidate on my list of possible celebrity Borderline Personality Sufferers. Here is a copy of the article and a link to one version on the Internet: Singer reported to have self-harmed in restaurant Amy Winehouse reportedly stubbed a cigarette out on her own cheek in a restaurant. The troubled singer was apparently having a crafty fag as she sat with pals in a London eatery last week. But when a waitress asked her to stop smoking, it’s claimed she pushed the burning ciggie into her own skin.…

    Does Britney Spears have Borderline Personality Disorder?

    January 8, 2008 / 21 Comments

    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…

    Impulsiveness Article

    April 9, 2007 /

    Excerpt: In a study published online last month in The Journal of Psychiatric Research, Janine D. Flory, a psychologist at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan, led a team of investigators who studied 351 healthy adults and 70 others with impulse-related disorders like antisocial and borderline personality disorders. The participants took a battery of tests to measure inhibition, appetite for risk and the inclination to plan. Analyzing the responses to questions intended to gauge thrill seeking like, “”I like to explore a strange city or section of town by myself, even if it means getting lost,”” and, “”I like to try foods I’ve never tried before,”” the researchers…
