They really have to do lengthy psychological screening before they will put people on this show. If someone has some sort of legitimate breakdown, BB will be in SERIOUS trouble!

The only HM i see who suffers from quite a deal of anxiety is John James, and i'm NOT just saying this because i - like/dislike the guy, but that's my true observations. Maybe he was screened a little less because of the flying from Australia to audition thing. Trust me, HE will be the one who struggles the most when he leaves the house and is expected to function in front of masses of people, and do interviews etc. The BB circus performer he ain't. If you notice on the very first night, when the HMs entered the house and sat on the couch, when asked to talk about himself in front of the group, he nervously deferred his position, and said he'd do it last. There's your signal of someone who suffers from quite a bit of anxiety.

I am astonished he was allowed to go into the house as he still has issues about his father's death.
