What If Enabling Was a Crime?

]]> Just caught the news report that Howard Stern, attorney and friend to Anna Nicole Smith, was brought up on charges that he helped give her prescription drugs. Basically, prosecutors said, he enabled her.

zumalive733371-anna-nicoleStern is charged, of course, with being part of a ring of conspiracy. He’s suspected of helping Anna Nicole become more and more addicted to drugs so that he could possibly get her money. But what if Anna Nicole was just a regular girl?

I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if enabling became a crime all around. Not just for famous people. Not just for the wealthy, but for everyday folks where drugs and alcohol cause the breakdown of their family.

What if all the mothers out there who not only support their husband’s drinking but become a part of the abuse they direct toward their children received the same fate as Howard Stern? What if the fathers of the world could actually be charged with covering up behavior when the mother of their children went on tirades so big that broken dishes and scared children were the only thing left standing at the end?

What if?

Celebrities With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Smile For The Camera!

I Must Shave My Legs: The OCD Miniseries – Part 8

Woohoo! We’ve come to the end of the OCD miniseries here at Mental Health Notes and, as promised, I have a list of celebrities with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Oooh, it’s not very often we get some juice here at Mental Health Notes, is it? ;)

Note that in order for a celebrity to be considered as having any kind of mental health disorder, s/he must have publicly stated it, written about it, or some other reliable source must have announced it. I don’t just go around diagnosing people with OCD.

With that, take the following information with a grain of salt.

Celebrities with OCD:

  • Cameron Diaz
  • Jessica Alba
  • Billy Bob Thornton
  • David Beckham
  • Alec Baldwin
  • Jennifer Love Hewitt
  • Donald Trump
  • Leonardo DiCaprio
  • Harrison Ford
  • Howard Stern
  • Howie Mandel
  • Roseanne Barr
  • Fred Durst
  • Dan Ackroyd
  • Rose McGowan
  • Michael Jackson
  • Joey Ramone
  • Kathie Lee Gifford

Historic figures thought to have OCD:

  • Michelangelo
  • Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson
  • Ludwig van Beethoven
  • Albert Einstein
  • Charles Darwin

Is your favorite famous face up there? Know of any more? Feel free to share a name or three in the comments! And, if you need to catch up with I Must Shave My Legs: The OCD Miniseries, each part is listed in the initial post.

Disclaimer: Acknowledging another person’s mental illness doesn’t contribute to stigma. If anything, it helps spread awareness about mental health.
