I'm sorry but the only one that was even mildly suprising was the Daryll Strawberry and the Bipolar, and thats only because I dont keep up with sports at all.

Bobby Brown is not Bi-polar.
He's just either whacked out on drugs or he isn't!

 

[ForumMaster]

so all these actors either have anxiety or bipolar disorder. a couple have obsessive compulsive disorder. that's not really that surprising.

 

[clamum]

Wow I didn't realize so many had anxiety disorder.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

Anxiety disorders vary.
I think most of them are in it for the meds...lol.

This list is boring

Maybe I'm sort of under appreciating the situation here, but I was reading it like:

"Anxiety Disorder" = they occasionally get nervous.
"Depression" = "Sometimes... sometimes I feel sad."

Or in other words, it seems really overblown and I'm sure every sing American suffers from several disorders. Especially if they spend five minutes with the right analyst.

Edit: Here's a better way of looking at this list:



Cher - Now only 21% genuine human tissue.
Courtney Love - Occasionally not completely wasted; currently on heavy dosages of meth and opium to resolve the problem.
Darryl Strawberry - Gigantism.
Dick Clark - Currently overdosed on embalming fluid.
Dolly Breastsonson - Sad that her boobies aren't big enough.
Eric Clapton - Sad because nobody can name any of his work from the past decade without Google.
Michelle Pfeiffer - Obsessive-Compulsive about fscking up her face to make it more and more frightening.
Naomi Judd - Constantly depressed and anxious from fear of being eaten by her engorged mother.
Shreyl Crow - Depressed ever since she heard herself on the radio.
Sting - Depressed because nobody remembers The Police.
Woody Allen - Just.. too much.

Eric Clapton is probably depressed because of the fact that his son died in 1991 when he fell off the family's 53rd story balcony.

I don't know about you but I think thats a damn good reason to be depressed.

"Anxiety Disorders" are a load. Anyone and everyone has this. Its just a part of being Human.

True.

If you did follow sports, that wouldn't be suprising at all either.

These are pretty must just verifying that they indeed have ADD/HD. Those are normal symptoms.

According to the site:

Anxiety Disorders
Most people experience feelings of anxiety before an important event such as a big exam, business presentation or first date. Anxiety disorders, however, are illnesses that cause people to feel frightened, distressed and uneasy for no apparent reason. Left untreated, these disorders can dramatically reduce productivity and significantly diminish an individual's quality of life.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) suffer intensely from recurrent unwanted thoughts (obsessions) or rituals (compulsions), which they feel they cannot control. Rituals such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed in hope of preventing, obsessive thoughts or making them go away.

Depression
Clinical depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting more than 19 million Americans each year. This includes major depressive disorder, manic depression and dysthymia, a milder, longer-lasting form of depression.

Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is an illness involving one or more episodes of serious mania and depression. The illness causes a person?s mood to swing from excessively ?high? and/or irritable to sad and hopeless, with periods of a normal mood in between. More than 2 million Americans suffer from bipolar disorder.
