Histrionic personality disorder

What is Histrionic Personality Disorder? What psychologist said about Amber Heard in Johnny Depp trial. Forensic psychologist Dr Shannon Curry told the court ...

“The legal team used personality disorder to discredit a woman because they believe it positions her as insane and unbelievable. “Diagnosing a woman with BPD or HPD is the go-to tactic of a legal team intent on discrediting a woman. Let’s not begin perpetuating stigma - anyone and everyone can be s**tty, not just those with personality disorders.” “Histrionic personality disorder was borne out of the ‘hysteria’ diagnosis, which could only be given to women. Thousands of women are going through the same thing as Amber as we speak, not knowing how to protect themselves or defend themselves from a psychiatric diagnosis they didn’t even know existed. They are also, very often, and very successfully, introduced into family law cases, private law cases and even criminal law cases where a woman is reporting domestic or sexual abuse. “It is vital that everyone understands that these diagnoses are not broadly accepted medical conditions, they are highly contested, controversial psychiatric labels. Unfortunately, none of these beliefs are accurate. “They tend to distance people who are close to them. They’re very socially sophisticated actually.” Dr Curry added that the instability of a borderline personality disorder can be driven by a “terror of abandonment”. A forensic psychologist has said that Amber Heard displays signs of a personality disorder which involves “extreme effort to be the centre of attention” as the defamation lawsuit between the actress and her ex-husband Johnny Depp continues in the US.

Depp has denied ever striking Heard. Heard’s lawyers say Depp physically and sexually abused her and that Depp’s denials lack merit because he was often drunk and high to the point of blacking out. One section of shoreline on the island was dubbed Brando Beach, for the actor with whom Depp had collaborated in the past. Curry said it was just part of the interview process. Depp’s team hopes Curry’s testimony bolsters their contention that Heard was the aggressor in the couple’s troubled relationship. The two personality disorders are similar, Curry said. Borderline personality is a disease of instability, she said “driven by an underlying fear of abandonment.” She said people with the disorder “will make desperate attempts to prevent that from happening.”

Psychotherapy is generally a form of treatment for people diagnosed with histrionic and borderline personality disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition that negatively affects the way people perceive and feel about themselves. "I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture's wrath for women who speak out," she had written.

This mental health issue is characterized by intense, unstable emotions, and a desperate need for attention.

Those with NPD, by contrast, are less emotionally expressive, use sex for personal gain, and are more dismissive of others. While they are both Cluster B, attention-seeking personality disorders, people with HPD and NPD differ in the type of attention they seek. As reported by Newsweek, “that means Heard is heavily concerned with image, prone to treating others with cruelty, unable to admit responsibility for wrongdoing, and prone to externalizing blame.”

Johnny Depp's legal team has claimed Amber Heard has two personality disorders, but Mina Hadi argues that this is a concerning approach to mental health.

Irrespective of the outcome of this trial, we need to listen to people who have BPD. It’s not easy to live with, but it’s also not what defines me or others with the diagnosis — and it certainly shouldn’t be a defence in a domestic abuse trial. Not to mention placing blame on someone who, in this case, has claimed to be the victim of abuse. Curry spoke to the court constantly in her testimony of the use of scales in diagnosis and she described mental health issues as generally having genetic, neurological and environmental components. I am not the first to dispute the terminology of personality disorders, potential biases in diagnosis and how it doesn’t take social context into account enough. There are nine symptoms in all, and five need to be met in order to have a BPD diagnosis – among them are impulsive behaviours (like substance overuse), self-harm, chronic emotional hollowness, intense fears of abandonment and unstable relationships. The description of me as borderline paints a very specific, misleading picture of me being inherently dangerous — but the air needs clearing on the reality of BPD for most people.

The word “histrionic” sounds like “hysterical” for a reason. For his part, Mondimore is wary of diagnoses made through the DSM. “The DSM was developed as a research tool,” he says — the criteria for given diagnoses are helpful to researchers and practitioners who want to study a given disorder. By contrast, says Mondimore, “for borderline personality disorder, there’s actually much more research, and a particular type of psychotherapy has been developed to treat that.” Another issue with diagnosing personality disorders is that, according to the DSM, several of them have overlapping criteria. Curry argued that as a result of the combination of HPD and BPD, Heard was prone to be “reactive” as well as “dramatic, erratic, and unpredictable.” “Their way of seeing themselves, of seeing the world, operating in the world, is very rigid, extreme to the point where it causes a great deal of trouble for them in many areas of life,” explains Francis Mondimore, director of the Mood Disorders Clinic at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center and author of Borderline Personality Disorder: New Reasons for Hope. On the whole, Cluster B personality disorders are characterized by “intense, unstable emotions, distorted self-images, and difficulty in relationships,” says Gallagher.

And I didn’t see myself as a victim," Heard wrote in a 2018 op-ed article in the Washington Post. "BPD is a life-long personality pattern of having too many emotions and having a hard time managing them. "I write this as a woman who had to change my phone number weekly because I was getting death threats. "Like many women, I had been harassed and sexually assaulted by the time I was of college age. A person’s personality typically stays the same over time," according to the American Psychiatric Association. "Persons with BPD often cause physical harm to themselves because feeling pain is often better than not feeling anything at all.
