What Amber Heard’s alleged Borderline Personality Disorder means

nypost.com:

during high-profile defamation suit against his former spouse Amber Heard says that his ex wife suffers from borderline personality disorder.

Dr. Shannon Curry, a licensed — but not board certified, Heard’s attorney pointed-out — clinical psychologist, testified on Tuesday, that she believes Heard, “demonstrates psychological symptoms of combined borderline personality disorder (BPD) and histrionic personality disorder.” Curry, who often works with celebrity clients, she noted in her testimony, based her evaluation on case materials provided by Depp’s attorneys as well as two arranged interviews with Heard.

The expert witness also concluded that the 36-year-old had “grossly exaggerated” symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to her hostile relationship with Depp, who went from from being “idealized to the dumpster” by Heard, she said.People with BPD are known to suffer severe mood swings due to a neurological imbalance that impairs their ability to rationally balance their emotions.

For this reason, BPD patients tend to be more impulsive, reckless, insecure and thus have difficulty maintaining close relationships, according to National Institute of Mental Health.
