Look at me! I'm dating Johnny Depp. EYHO!
It's terrible when we pathologize/ psychologize a partner in an intimate relationship. "S/he's crazy," we judge.

But celebrities are crazy, some much more than others. Pooping the bed on purpose is crazy enough. That's what prisoners do, acting out, when they feel their voices do not matter. Gorgeous actress, lesbian dating men, egotist, narcissist, it all adds up to madness. And Elon Musk's entanglement isn't helping matters.
No, it wasn't because of me. It's Amber's fault!
Who knows if she is or isn't? It's just a good opportunity to look more closely at ourselves. That's what the stars are for. No one is here to see them. We're only here to see ourselves in them.

Can you believe they're not talking about me? I mean, c'mon, I'm who they're here to see.

Dr. Curry testified (and Dr. Grande analyzed) that Heard has clinical personality disorders, borderline and histrionic. So what are these conditions? Wiki to the rescue. Anyone wanting a primary source can go to the library and whip out the latest DSM.

BPD: Despair (Edvard Munch, 1894)
Borderline Personality disorder (BPD)
[11] is a personality disorder characterized by a long-term pattern of unstable interpersonal relationships, distorted sense of self, and emotional dysregulation [6, 7, 12].

Those affected often feel empty and may self-harm and could have other dangerous behaviors, often due to their difficulty with returning their emotional level to a healthy or normal baseline [13, 14, 15].

They may also struggle with a feeling of emptiness, fear of abandonment, and disassociate from reality [6].

Symptoms of BPD, often beginning with distress, may be triggered by events "neuro typical people" considered normal [6].


Me? How could I be "crazy"?
BPD typically begins by early adulthood and occurs across a variety of situations [7]. Substance use disorders, depression, and eating disorders are commonly associated with BPD [6].

Some 8 to 10% of people affected with the disorder may commit suicide [6, 7]. The disorder is often stigmatized in both the media and the psychiatric field and as a result is often underdiagnosed [16]. 

The causes of BPD are unclear but seem to involve genetic, neurological, environmental, and social factors [6, 8]. It occurs about five times more often in a person who has an affected close relative [6].

Adverse life events appear to also play a role [9]. The underlying mechanism appears to involve the frontolimbic network of neurons [9].

BPD is recognized by the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) as a personality disorder, along with nine other such disorders [7].

The condition must be differentiated from an identity problem or substance use disorders, among other possibilities [7].

BPD is typically treated with psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) [6]. More

Histrionic Personality Disorder
Drama, drama! I need drama, damn it!
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is defined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) as a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in early childhood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval.

People diagnosed with the disorder are said to be lively, dramatic, vivacious, enthusiastic, extroverted, and flirtatious. HPD lies in the dramatic cluster of personality disorders [1].

People with HPD have a high desire for attention, make loud and inappropriate appearances, exaggerate their behaviors and emotions, and crave stimulation [1].

They may exhibit sexually provocative behavior, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and can be easily influenced by others.

Associated features include egocentrism, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, and persistent manipulative behavior to achieve their own wants.

Signs and symptoms
I can seduce any student I want to seduce.
People with HPD are usually high-functioning, both socially and professionally. They usually have good social skills, despite tending to use them to manipulate others into making them the center of attention [2] HPD may also affect a person's social and romantic relationships, as well as their ability to cope with losses or failures.

They may seek treatment for clinical depression when romantic (or other close personal) relationships end [3].

Individuals with HPD often fail to see their own personal situation realistically, instead dramatizing and exaggerating their difficulties. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and may prefer withdrawing from frustration (instead of facing it).

Seductiveness or hysteria? Tough choice.
Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing clinical depression [4].

Research has also shown those with histrionic personality disorder are believed to have a greater desire for social approval, making those with HPD more vulnerable to social media addiction [5].

Additional characteristics may include:
  • Exhibitionist behavior
  • Constant seeking of reassurance or approval
  • Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval
  • Pride of own personality and unwillingness to change, viewing any change as a threat
  • Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior of a sexual nature
  • Using factitious somatic symptoms (of physical illness) or psychological disorders to garner attention
  • Craving attention
  • Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification
  • Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear superficial or exaggerated to others
  • Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are
  • Making rash decisions [2]
  • Blaming personal failures or disappointments on others
  • Being easily influenced by others, especially those who treat them approvingly
  • Being overly dramatic and emotional [4]
  • Influenced by the suggestions of others [6]
  • Some people with histrionic traits or personality disorder change their seduction technique into a more maternal or paternal style as they age [7].
Causes
She's crazy. Case closed! (AP Pool, 4/28/22)
Little research has been done to find evidence of what causes histrionic personality disorder. Although direct causes are inconclusive, various theories and studies suggest multiple possible causes, of a neurochemical, genetic, psychoanalytic, or environmental nature.

Traits
such as extravagance, vanity, and seductiveness or hysteria have similar qualities to women diagnosed with HPD [8].

HPD symptoms typically do not fully develop until the age of 15, while the onset of treatment only occurs, on average, at approximately 40 years of age [9, 10]. More
COMMENTARY

Well, to sum up this analysis all we can say is, "Hold on. Let us log into Spotify and pull up this song."

LYRICS: "Bat [Sh*t Crazy] Country"
Avenged Sevenfold from the album City of Evil
"He who makes a beast out of himself
Gets rid of the pain of being a man" - Dr. Samuel Johnson

Caught here in a fiery blaze won't lose my will to stay
I tried to drive all through the night
The heat stroke ridden weather the barren empty sights
No oasis here to see
The sand is singing deathless words to me

[Chorus]

Can't you help me as I'm starting to burn? (All alone)
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction
My confidence is leaving me on my own (All alone)
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention

As I adjust to my new sights
The rarely tired lights will take me to new heights
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right
Mental fiction follow me
Show me what it's like to be set free

[Chorus]

So sorry you're not here I've
Been sane too long my vision's so unclear
Now take a trip with me but
Don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem

Caught here in a fiery blaze won't lose my will to stay
These eyes won't see the same after I flip today

Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by
Don't want your absolution 'cause I can't make it right

I'll make a beast out of myself
Gets rid of all the pain of being a man

[Chorus]

I've known it from the start all
These good ideas will tear your brain apart
Scared but you can follow me I'm
Too weird to live but much too rare to die

What's this crazy song got to do with anything?
We wanted to blame Johnny, but it's Amber.
ABOUT
(Genius.com) This is the song that brought Avenged Sevenfold into the mainstream. The song’s theme functions as a reference to Hunter S. Thompson’s novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971/1972) and the film adaptation released in 1998 with Johnny Depp. The function is carried out on multiple levels: The lyrics make obvious references to the novel (e.g., “He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man” is a direct quote from Samuel Johnson that is used as the preface to the book); the music video for the song recreates some scenes from the film; the ups and downs of the verses and post-choruses (i.e., “So sorry you’re not here…”), respectively, are meant to represent the highs and lows of a drug trip.
