    Famous People with Personality Disorders

    1. Anna Nicole Smith


    A number of psychologists claim that Smith exhibited many of the symptoms of
    histrionic personality disorder. The public watched as she displayed excessive emotions,
    abused drugs, had promiscuous sex, and always had to be the center of attention.

    2. Angelina Jolie-Pitt
    Beautiful and talented, Jolie voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility in the
    late 1990s, claiming she had experienced both suicidal and homicidal thoughts.
    Although she had no intention of acting on these thoughts, she realized that she
    needed help. She was diagnosed with "presumptive borderline personality disorder".

    3. Megan Fox
    Actress Megan Fox is quoted as saying, "...I constantly struggle with the idea that I
    think I'm a borderline personality – or that I have bouts of mild schizophrenia."

    4. Adolf Hitler
    Okay, not a celebrity, but definitely a famous (or infamous) person. There has been
    much speculation about Hitler's psychiatric profile over the years. In his book, Hitler:
    Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet, author Fritz Redlich concludes that the genocidal
    leader showed strong symptoms of paranoid personality disorder as well as narcissistic
    personality disorder symptoms.

    5. Marilyn Monroe
    During her short life, Monroe exhibited sexual promiscuity, suicidal thoughts, substance
    abuse, and fear of abandonment – all hallmarks of borderline personality disorder.

    6. Steve Jobs
    The late CEO of Apple Computer Corporation suffered from obsessive-compulsive
    personality disorder. According to an article in Slate Magazine, Jobs' OCPD is "what
    made him great". The article lists other famous "greats' who suffered from the same
    personality disorder. Read the rest of it here.

    7. David Beckham
    According to at least one source, the handsome and famous soccer star suffers
    from dependent personality disorder. While certainly not financially dependent on
    anyone, Beckham has shown excessive clinginess in his relationship, low self-esteem,
    inability to cope with certain situations by himself.

    7. Leonardo DiCaprio-obsessive-compulsive disorder


    The Oscar-winning star admitted he feels compelled to walk through
    doorways numerous times and step on sidewalk stains left by used chewing
    gum. But DiCaprio has managed to keep his OCD tendencies under control,
    saying, “I’m able to say at some point, ‘OK, you’re being ridiculous. Stop
    stepping on every gum stain you see. You don’t need to do that.’”

    8. Daniel Radcliffe-obsessive-compulsive disorder


    The boy who made Harry Potter a household name at the age of ten has
    been struggling with OCD since he was five. According to writer Alexandra
    Daluisio, “Dan decided to seek help when his anxiety prevented him from
    turning off a light for five minutes.” Even at such a young age, Radcliffe
    knew something had to be done.
