PTSD

Barbra Streisand


An incident at a large concert where Streisand completely forgot the lines to her own song caused her to develop a very intense fear of singing in front of people, or being in the public eye in general. She felt humiliated and has had continued problems in dealing with PTSD it caused her. She regularly undergoes cognitive therapies in order to improve her fear, but has reportedly said that it is helping very little.
