I don't know why they keep the disorder a mystery and make you guess though It’s an attempt at a ‘medical education’ style tweet. It’s not an unusual format in this part of twitter to say something along the lines of ‘so and so did research on X/here’s a scan showing X/etc. X is [insert random fact]. What is X?’ Edit: Apparently Billie is literally a case study in a textbook: reddit Seems unfair that he’s probably in that book without any consent whatsoever. There are a lot of consent forms that need filling out if a normal patient is included in a published work, so why should it be any different for a celebrity? Arguably their information is already in the public domain, but that doesn’t remove a most of the key ethical principles behind asking for consent to publish). 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I find it a bit strange he made it into that textbook because as far as I'm aware he hasn't really talked about it in detail/said exactly what disorder he has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it’s been updated for new editions though... My issue with this is almost worsened by the quick reference. An in depth case study would at least tell his story and give more opportunity for empathy and understanding. If you know nothing about GD, you might only remember him as ‘that random rock star who got anxious and did drugs and got shows cancelled’. But I agree it isn’t a major issue. There are much better case studies out there though, James Arthur has talked about his anxiety a lot more. 1 hour ago, Jane Lannister said: I find it a bit strange he made it into that textbook because as far as I'm aware he hasn't really talked about it in detail/said exactly what disorder he has. Has he ever said he has a disorder, or has he just talked about how he gets/got very anxious before shows? I don’t like to speculate about people’s health, so wondered if there’s anything he’s said. There’s a big difference between having an anxiety disorder and suffering anxiety before a massive show in front of tens of thousands of people (which is arguably a normal response, even for a rockstar). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herewegoagain Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't remember where but I can picture him quite vividly saying the words "panic disorder" in roughly that context in some interview. Just a hunch but maybe the Spotify documentary? I can't look at it right now. He definitely didn't speak very in-depth about though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree, he's not the best choice for a case study because there are others who have done more to raise awareness about anxiety and talked about it more and the way it's written doesn't really tell much of his story other than the classic "a rock star did drugs what a shock". I don't remember what exactly he's said over the years, but I think he's mentioned experiencing performance anxiety and also anxiety in other situations. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Montclare Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 He's mentioned anxiety and panic attacks in multiple interviews. I forgot what interview this originally came from, but it mentions the social anxiety- He said: "I love it. I was having all these crazy neurotic thoughts like, 'I hope I remember how to play guitar and how to sing', but then as soon as you get up there, it's just intoxicating to feed off the energy and adrenaline that's going on in the crowd, and to be able to remember it all afterwards." The 'American Idiot' hitmaker admitted he turned to drink and drugs to mask his social anxiety. He said: "I definitely suffer from my own forms of neuroses and depression and phobias. "I always feel like the most awkward person when I'm in a crowded room. I have social anxieties and stuff like that, and I used drugs and booze to take care of that." Edit- looks like it was Q magazine, 2016. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 He’s made quite a few, fairly low key references over the years to having an anxiety disorder, often when talking about Basket Case but also just responding to a question like what does he do to prepare for going on stage and he’ll say something like try to stop form having a panic attack. This is also the guy though who feels that nobody wants to hear him talk about his problems because he’s a successful rock star and I think his blue collar roots make him very wary of sounding like he’s complaining about how difficult life is when he knows what it’s like to be short of money, doing a menial job etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yeah when Rev Rad came out and he was doing interviews he made it very clear that he used to use drink to deal with awkwardness and anxiety. It was a new album and a new "sober" tour so it seemed like openly explaining that was an alternative strategy to deal with it, he brought it up himself a bunch of times. I don't think he's really gone into enough detail about it to make it a case study but it is a legitimate thing to say about him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
