Did Marilyn Monroe have BPD?
In light of the new film about Marilyn Monroe, I found this about her: In one part of the book “Lost In The Mirror”, Dr. Richard A. Moskovitz, M.D. writes, “Elton John’s characterization of Marilyn Monroe as a candle in the wind captures the essence of the borderline personality. She is an elusive character lacking in identity, overwhelmed by a barrage of painful emotions, consumed by hunger for love and acceptance, and careening from relationship to relationship and impulse to impulse in a desperate attempt to control these feelings.” No related posts.
