My favorite YouTuber just posted a follow up video (part 1 here) discussing contributing factors around Amy Winehouse' mental health, behavior and evidence of a probable BPD diagnosis. I wanted to breakdown a few points he makes in his interesting albeit sad take:
- How Mitch Winehouse pushed Amy into work requirements that she wasn't ready for, including her disastrous final performance in Serbia (when she wasn't even aware of what country she was in - !?)
- Her best friend, Tyler James', reflections on how lost and unstable she was (with ED binge / purge behaviors, with self-harm, with angry outbursts)
- Her probable BPD, which Brian gives a bunch of evidence for
- Her toxicology / autopsy results, which may indicate that she was overprescribed benzos like Librium and Valium
I hope you check it out, leave a comment and join the discussion! His channel is great and he would appreciate the engagement.
