So I'm doing a project for psychology on media influences, and mine is on the stigma surrounding mental illness.
I am working on a poster of the faces of celebrities with various MH disorders they suffer from printed across their face and the caption 'See the face behind the label', or something of the sort.
I have a few already, but does anyone know of any celebrities with DID, schizophrenia, BPD, post natal depression or anorexia? Or anything else you can think of other than bipolar, depression, OCD or BPD.
Syd Barrett sziophernia
Herschel Walker and Adam Duritz the counting crows singer: DID
Howard Hughes OCD
Elton John bulimia
Michael Phelps ADHD
Brian Willson schizoaffective disorder
Brooke Shields postpartum depresion
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when you actually feel alive
So live for the moment
Did - the only one I can think of is Mary magdalene might have had it. Pity there aren't more people with schizophrenia out - could really do with getting rid of stigma
I know Christina Ricci (I think that's how you spell it) gave an interview recently about having a history of self harm and being anorexic as a teenager.
Stereotypes are the epitome of human laziness.
- me
The guy from A Beautiful Mind was Schizophrenic (John Nash as saomeone above said)
Alan Turnig I think had depression.
Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer apparently had/have OCD
Russell Brand has Bipolar...
I know alot of these but can't think of any more right now.
"John, being brave is going where no man has gone before and with Lizzy Stark, that is NOT what you'll be doing!" - Aunt Polly.
“I told him I was going to betray you, and betray Lyra, and he believed me because I was corrupt and full of wickedness; he looked so deep I felt sure he'd see the truth. But I lied too well. I was lying with every nerve and fiber and everything I'd ever done...I wanted him to find no good in me, and he didn't. There is none.”
Didn't he say something to the effect that he's been diagnosed with every label in the DSM?
No idea I'm afraid.
