do you think Paula Abdul may have an organic brain disorder or something?

Question

I am not talking meanly I am talking perhaps some disorder she doesn't want disclosed? She was on QVC hawking her jewelry line and her brain and her mouth did not seem to want to sync. I am enclosing a link to a website which pretty closely describes how it seems she acts
http://www.psychnet-uk.com/dsm_iv/organic_brain_syndrome.htm
and also the vid of the QVC clip I am thinking its some medical thing. http://www.comcast.net/providers/fan/popup.html?v=275796160&pl=272871934.xml&launchpoint=Cover&cid=fancover&attr=home_teaser&cvqh=home_&config=%2Fconfig%2Fcommon%2Ffan%2Fhome%2Exml

the website lists some degenerative disorders of the brain and it just nakes me think she may have something but does not broadcast it.. maybe on American Idol she has cue cards or a little earpiece that helps her but on her own she is messed up in the speaking and thinking at the same thime department

the only car accident I found for her was a hit and run she charged by the cops in LA with there is nothing about her ever being injured in any car accident that I found doing searches

some answerer down below here syas she a pill head and I should "stop overthinking things" but I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, cause it seems like if she really was stoned Hollywood would know it is after all a relatively small community, plus if it was known she was a drughead, she would be high risk for insurance in her appearances and no one would want her is what sort of makes sense

Answer 1

It's certainly possible. But she appears to be coherent and lucid at times and slurring and fairly disorganized at other times. Sometimes she has normal posture and psychomotor activity but other times she's swaying and appears slightly agitated. Most neurological disorders and general medical conditions don't really have such a fluctuating course. However, some, like MS, can. I've heard that Paula's had years of back problems and takes pain killers. Many of these drugs are very addictive so she could have a substance dependence problem.

Answer 2

Paula has been in pain since an accident (car) several years ago and takes strong pain meds for it. Sometimes the medication makes her seem to be in a daze or as if she drank or something(she doesnt drink).

Answer 3

maybe she doesn't want pity or she thinks she won't be able to get any work if a dysfunction or disease is revealed.. or maybe she just wants her privacy about it.. i really do not think she's high, also maybe Paula has really bad stage fright when doing in person unscripted appearances, for years and years Barbra Streisand could not do concerts or sing in public because of her incapacitating stage fright

Answer 4

Saw her on Letterman and noticed the same thing. I think she's just ditzy and can't convert thought into words at the same speed.

Answer 5

I have Impulsive Borderline Personality pretty bad.

Answer 6

No, I seriously think she has some addiction problem...and I would tend to say she has a problem with prescription narcotics.

Answer 7

Your kidding right...... She is a drunk and probably a pill popper ( downers) no psycobable needed so stop over thinking things.

Answer 8

She really is wacked out! Something not all there
