Psychologist Shannon Curry Reveals Amber Heard’s Borderline Personality Disorder
The psychologist, Shannon Curry, reached her diagnosis after reviewing Amber Heard’s mental health records and 12 hours of interviews with her. She further debunked Heard’s claim of her suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from her relationship with Depp.
Curry testified that the two disorders are similar. Borderline personality is a disease of instability, she said, “driven by an underlying fear of abandonment.” She further added that people with the disorder “will make desperate attempts to prevent that from happening.”
More damningly, the psychologist testified that borderline personality disorder “seems to be a predictive factor for women who implement violence against their partner.” Johnny Depp has earlier maintained that he was on the receiving end of domestic violence by Heard and was hit by her on many occasions. Moreover, Histrionic personality disorder, Curry said, is associated with “drama and shallowness,” She further added that there’s a correlation in the disorder with people who are physically attractive and “utilize their looks to get that attention.”
