Britney Spears Displays Signs Of Schizophrenia

By: Michael Keen Home | Arts-and-Entertainment | Psychology


After weeks of incredible strange behavior the question is now being raised if Britney is only Bipolar or possible even Insane. Now that you have all finished having a good laugh at what many believe is quite obvious, we will discuss the reasons why Britney might actually be insane. Originally Britney was thought to be suffering from mental problems, this was later said to be the result of a Bipolar Disorder however sources close to Britney are now claiming that her medication isn't working. This is actually very startling news because if it is not a Mental condition brought on by a Disease or Disorder then the only other likely cause of her strange and sometimes insane behavior would be the legal Defense of Insanity.

Insanity, or madness, is traditionally a certain type of behaviour where someone risks oneself and others, and is generally associated to social taboos (parental authority, for example). Greek tragedies and Shakespeare often refers to madness in this sense. Psychologically, it is a general popular and legal term defining behaviour influenced by mental instability. It is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as a deranged state of the mind or lack of understanding. Today it is most commonly encountered as an informal term or in the narrow legal context of the insanity defense, and in the medical profession the term is now avoided in favour of specific diagnoses of mental illness as schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

As you can see from the example we provided this describes britney alot better. Her behavior resembles those of a schizophrenic a lot more than those of a person with Bipolar. Generally people whom have Bipolar don't realize it for years because it can have very mild effects and only present itself at various times. A schizophrenic person on the other hand often shows constant signs and display various strange kinds of behavior. Bipolar people tend to become more violent and angry, while schizo's(yes I just used that term hah) tend to display more strange behavior rather than violent behavior, don't become confused however as schizo's(I am on a roll) can display very violent behavior when frustrated or provoked but this is generally more a result of provoking the person than a random outburst. Britney Spears could very well be Mentally Insane. It should be noted that Britney is still under medical observation, they are still trying to correctly diagnose her condition leaving many to believe it indeed is Schizophrenia. Being Bipolar doesn't normally lead someone to begin speaking in a British accent like Britney has begun doing however Schizophrenic people tend to become delusional which leaves us to once again believe and agree that Britney has Schizophrenia.
