Amber Heard 'personality disorder' meaning decoded by experts

Amber Heard shows signs of borderline personality disorder, said expert doctor in the courtroom Tuesday.

Speaking in Virginia court this week during Johnny Depp's defamation lawsuit, Dr. Shannon Curry shared her observations of Amber's 'dramatic' reactions to fights with former husband.

According to National Institute of Mental Health, "People with borderline personality disorder have an impaired ability to rationally balance their emotions. For this reason, BPD patients tend to be more impulsive, reckless and insecure, and thus have difficulty maintaining close relationships."

The New York Post reports: "Those diagnosed with the condition often struggle with substance abuse and are prone to angry outbursts, self-harm and threatening suicide. Relatedly, those with histrionic personality disorder tend to have a penchant for the dramatic while exhibiting attention-seeking behaviour."

Dr. Shannon Curry confirmed that Amber “demonstrates psychological symptoms of combined borderline personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder,” evidenced by “an overly dramatic presentation” with “impressionistic speech” that “really lacks any substance,” Curry explained at one point.

Before ending her testimony, the doctor pointed out that Amber has “grossly exaggerated” her experiences of fights with Depp.
