Milton Bradley and BPD or something else
I have never posted on potential BPD of an athlete before. I think that there are probably athletes with BPD. Heck, if the NIAAA study is correct 5.9% of the adult population has had a life time incidence of BPD – it seems likely that there would be people of all stripes with the disorder. Anyway, a few weeks ago I read an article about Milton Bradley (the baseball player, not the game company). Here is the article… (I have bolded the parts that I find telling): ‘Committed’ Bradley returns to M’s after 2 weeks SEATTLE (AP) -Milton Bradley’s hiatus from the Seattle Mariners is over. His process of getting…

New for May – Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month
As many of you know May is Borderline Personality Disorder Awareness Month. In 2008, I posted the text of the Congressional bill that declared this. Click on that link to read the text of the bill. One of the things that struck me in this bill was this: Whereas BPD is inheritable and is exacerbated by environmental factors; Unfortunately, the sponsor of this bill “Mr. TOM DAVIS of Virginia” is no longer in the Congress. I wonder why he proposed and sponsored such a bill? I wonder if he has been affected by BPD in his family. I guess I need to do some Googling to see if I can…

Megan Fox and Borderline Personality Disorder Reexamined
A little while ago, I wrote a piece on Megan Fox and her statements in an interview that she was considering the possibility that she had a “borderline” personality. I got several reactions that she probably didn’t know what she was talking about or that she was merely emulating/reflecting her “heroine” – Marilyn Monroe. (Fox has a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on the right forearm). I read the interview with Fox in “Rolling Stone” this month and found that, if she was being honest in the interview, there is a distinct possibility that she does have BPD. Here are some of the salient points… In “When Hope is Not Enough,”…

Megan Fox, a new celeb on the BPD-o-meter
Sure, she’s the hottest thing right now… Yet Megan Fox admits in a recent interview that there’s something wrong with her mentally… ‘I could end up like that because I constantly struggle with the idea that I think I’m a borderline personality – or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia. I definitely have some kind of mental problem and I haven’t pinpointed what it is,” she aired to the mag. Could she be the first celebrity to “come out of the closet” and admitting to having BPD? It would be nice for the BPD community if she did. Most of the celebs say they have “bipolar disorder” (or depression)…

Courtney Love’s BPD-meter now getting in the red zone
It’s been a while since I wrote a post about a celebrity with possible BPD. To see past posts about celebrities with BPD (possible but not for sure) click here. I saw a picture a few days ago of Courtney Love. Geez, someone give the girl a pound cake and make sure she eats it. While Courtney herself says it’s the financial stress, it sure looks a lot like an eating disorder. Here is an article about it… Yikes!
