    Kim Gordon’s memoir Girl in a Band: 10 things we learned

    February 5, 2015 / No Comments

    After meeting Love in 1990, Gordon recognised a possible similar borderline personality disorder from which her brother Keller suffers. “No one ever questions the disorder behind her tarantula LA glamour – sociopathy, narcissism – because it’s good rock and roll, good entertainment! I have a low tolerance for manipulative, egomaniacal behaviour, and usually have to remind myself that the person might be mentally ill.” Kim Gordon’s memoir Girl in a Band: 10 things we learned The Sonic Youth co-founder has written her autobiography in the aftermath of the band’s demise. Here are 10 salient details, from how nobody likes Jeff Koons to Henry Rollins inventing twerking Written in the aftermath…

    Amy Winehouse and BPD

    December 6, 2011 / No Comments

    One of my twitter followers posted the original Daily Star article about Amy Winehouse and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Of course, I’d had Amy on my Celebrities with Possible BPD list for many years. If you want to read all of my articles about Amy Winehouse click here. I have no idea why the title includes ‘Mental Illness’ in quotes. Maybe it was because they were quoting the relative or maybe it brings up the question as to whether BPD is an actual mental illness. Here is the text of the article (and my comments below): TRAGIC AMY WINEHOUSE HAD ‘MENTAL ILLNESS’ TROUBLED Amy Winehouse suffered from an undiagnosed mental…

    Well, duh. I had Amy Winehouse (RIP) at the top of my Celebrities with Possible BPD list for almost 4 years. Now the news media is reporting the possibility.

    Amy Winehouse, addiction and BPD from the NY Times

    August 2, 2011 / 1 Comment

    Before her death, I’d written about Amy Winehouse and my analysis of why she was very high on the BPD-o-meter. Here is an article from the NY Times about addiction that mentions both Amy Winehouse and Borderline Personality Disorder (but not as her having it). Here are some interesting quotes: Clinicians have long been aware that patients with certain types of psychiatric illnesses — including mood, anxiety and personality disorders — are more likely to become addicts. According to the National Institute of Mental Health’s Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study, patients with mental health problems are nearly three times as likely to have an addictive disorder as those without. Conversely, 60…

    Amy Winehouse found dead at 27

    July 23, 2011 / No Comments

    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…
