Doctor Curry said that was not the case, she merely asked her husband to "pick up muffins because I was running late", adding that she and Heard "enjoyed the muffins together". Heard's lawyer, Elaine Bredehoft, also claimed the doctor was "so excited [about taking on the high-profile case] that she told her husband she was going to be conducting an examination of Amber Heard" although it was "a highly confidential matter". Additionally, Doctor Curry described Heard as "grossly exaggerating symptoms of PTSD", saying that when the questions she put to her "seemed random" she believed that Heard tried to "minimise" any impression of a disorder, but when questions put to her revolved around trauma she felt Heard would "exaggerate".

A psychologist for Johnny Depp's defense testified on Tuesday that ex wife Amber Heard may suffer from borderline personality disorder.

Moreover, those with either disorder are prone to rush into relationships out of their deep desire for a new partner’s admiration, and end them just as quickly, as soon as that initial shine fades — all of which makes the pairing a potentially volatile combo. Relatedly, those with histrionic personality disorder tend to have a penchant for the dramatic while exhibiting attention-seeking behavior. Her statement led later testimony on that Heard had shown dubious signs of abuse, such as LAPD Officer Melissa Saenz who “did not identify her as a victim of domestic violence” when called to the couple’s home in 2016.

Amber Heard displays signs of a personality disorder which involves "extreme effort to be the centre of attention," a forensic psychologist has said.

Shannon Curry said she believes Heard was "grossly exaggerating" when asked about having PTSD symptoms.

Based on her evaluation, Curry told the court on Tuesday she believes that Heard does not have PTSD and was "grossly exaggerating symptoms of PTSD when asked about them." In court on Tuesday, Curry added that she believes Heard has histrionic personality disorder, and its key features are drama and shallowness. (Depp previously testified that he responded to conflict with Heard by trying to leave, for example locking himself in a bathroom.) Curry said when psychologists see this code type, it's best to follow up with the patient's subordinates, coworkers, and others "who may have observed their behavior more closely." A tactic people with borderline personality disorder may use is physically assaulting someone else and then "getting harmed themselves," Curry said. Her testimony comes as lawyers for Depp and Heard have tried to paint the other as the aggressor in their violent marriage.

What is Histrionic Personality Disorder? What psychologist said about Amber Heard in Johnny Depp trial. Forensic psychologist Dr Shannon Curry told the court ...

“The legal team used personality disorder to discredit a woman because they believe it positions her as insane and unbelievable. “Diagnosing a woman with BPD or HPD is the go-to tactic of a legal team intent on discrediting a woman. Let’s not begin perpetuating stigma - anyone and everyone can be s**tty, not just those with personality disorders.” “Histrionic personality disorder was borne out of the ‘hysteria’ diagnosis, which could only be given to women. Thousands of women are going through the same thing as Amber as we speak, not knowing how to protect themselves or defend themselves from a psychiatric diagnosis they didn’t even know existed. They are also, very often, and very successfully, introduced into family law cases, private law cases and even criminal law cases where a woman is reporting domestic or sexual abuse. “It is vital that everyone understands that these diagnoses are not broadly accepted medical conditions, they are highly contested, controversial psychiatric labels. Unfortunately, none of these beliefs are accurate. “They tend to distance people who are close to them. They’re very socially sophisticated actually.” Dr Curry added that the instability of a borderline personality disorder can be driven by a “terror of abandonment”. A forensic psychologist has said that Amber Heard displays signs of a personality disorder which involves “extreme effort to be the centre of attention” as the defamation lawsuit between the actress and her ex-husband Johnny Depp continues in the US.

“They tend to distance people who are close to them. They argue that professionals should consider what in their life may have contributed to their difficulties, and help with these. Of histrionic personality disorder, mental health charity Mind says: “Most people enjoy being given compliments or positive feedback about their actions. They’re very socially sophisticated actually.” Personality disorders are often stigmatised. They each deny the other’s claims.

"He was going to die a lonely old man." "Oftentimes they will be abusive to their partners." Ms Roberts said she was "worried" about what might happen and took Depp to a cafe on the island and applied ice to an injury he had received to the bridge of his nose. Ms Elaine Bredehoft, an attorney for Heard, asked Dr Curry. Heard had "grossly exaggerated" her symptoms of PTSD in a test she was given, she said. Dr Curry said some of the primary characteristics of borderline personality disorder include a "lot of inner anger and hostility", a tendency to be "self-righteous" and "fluctuating moods".
