Tiffany Livingston, Playboy Model, Victim of Anxiety

Lauren Finnegan
Many people throughout the world suffer from anxiety disorders, but you really never hear about your favorite celebrity suffering from the disease. Anxiety is something that is prevalent throughout society, and many times people suffer from it in silence.

Tiffany Livingston, a Playboy Model from Merrimac, Rhode Island, is someone who has issues with anxiety. On Thursday, Sept. 9, after boarding a plane headed from Orlando, Florida, to Newark, New Jersey, Livingston suffered from her worst anxiety attack yet. While the plane was still in the air, she tried to open the door of the plane, according to CBS News. She is currently awaiting charges stemming from the incident. She is not the first celebrity to suffer from an anxiety attack.

One notable celebrity who has suffered from anxiety in the past is Heather Locklear. Her career is still on the rocks from incidents that were blamed on her anxiety. After her divorce from Richie Sambora, of Bon Jovi fame, Locklear got herself into many different incidents which had the public guessing. She was involved in a hit-and-run accident, driving under the influence and a mysterious 911 call. The call was from her doctor, saying that he believed she was trying to commit suicide by overdosing on her pills. When the paramedics and the police arrived to her house, she declined the help, but only a couple of days later, she checked herself into rehab for depression and anxiety, according to Celebitchy.

All of these incidents were blamed on her anxiety issues, and I believe that staying out of the spotlight has actually helped Locklear. After her divorce, she was in magazine articles almost every day. Since she checked herself into rehab, the hit-and-run and the DUI have happened, and time will only tell if she will be able to make it back from this. Tiffany Livingston isn't really that well known, so there is a chance that she will be able to put this behind her and it will be forgotten when she is a bigger star.
