Amy Winehouse pops up on the BPD-o-meter again
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything about Amy Winehouse or any celebrity for that matter. I saw this article and thought I’d post the info. Sounds like she has some impulse control issues. Amy Winehouse was spotted buying a bottle of vodka on her way to treatment at The Priory hospital in Southgate. The troubled and talent singer, Amy Winehouse, made headlines yet again this week after purchasing a bottle of Vodka from a local retailer. Winehouse who is known for hits including ‘Valerie’ and ‘Rehab’ was spotted entering Meadway Food and Wine in North London’s Southgate area where she bought and downed a bottle of Smirnoff. The…

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.…

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…

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.

Ian Curtis and BPD (or another disorder)
Rarely do you find an individual artist who expresses his/her emotions and pain as clearly as did Ian Curits. He was the lead singer and song writer for the band Joy Division. In May of 1980, two days before their first U.S. tour, Curtis hung himself in his kitchen. Joy Division reformed as New Order and had a major impact on dance/rock music. But Joy Division was an amazing band. Curtis’ lyrics read like a suicide note. He had epilepsy and the medication he was taking for it supposedly depressed him. The lyrics on their two albums (Unknown Pleasures and Closer) are fought with pain, shame and depression. Two years…
