The result of this study is Marlin, as the main character in Finding Nemo (2003) film, has anxiety due to Nemo being taken away by divers. Marlin has two anxieties according to Sigmund Freud's theory, namely realistic anxiety and neurotic anxiety.
Marlin's story in Finding Nemo in a way continues along the CBT theme; at each stage in his journey to find Nemo, he engages in exposure to anxiety-provoking situations, he undertakes 'behavioural experiments' which show him not everything is as dangerous as he predicts, and he meets others who help to challenge his ...
Marlin is probably right to be terrified of sharks, jellyfish, and an approaching whale—all those things could mean death. In the end, Marlin learns that it's okay to be afraid sometimes, but that you can't let your fears (or your fears for your kid) totally paralyze you.
The character Dory from the movies Finding Nemo and Finding Dory is an example of a movie character who has amnesia, or memory loss. Some of the things that Dory does in the movies are a lot like real-life amnesia. For example, Dory forgets that she has met Marlin, another character in the movie.

Who has ADHD in Finding Nemo?
Dory suffers from severe short-term memory loss, but a lot of what she goes through can be adapted to other contexts, such as the world, or ocean, of ADHD. Dory has trouble with multi-step directions, is easily distracted, and is very impulsive.
It's quite obvious that Dory has anterograde amnesia, which is the inability to form new memories. I also see many of the signs of ADHD within the character. I headcanon her as having an exaggerated version of ADHD because she gets distracted extremely easily and can't keep her attention on one thing.
By centering the film on the emotional challenges of two likeable characters, Finding Nemo is able to trigger a reaction of empathy in its audience; our emotions naturally shift to mirror those of the characters, such that we feel Nemo and Marlin's anxiety along with them (Davis, 1980).
Marlin proves to be emotionally disabled from the traumatic loss of his wife, and eggs. “Like many single parents who have survived a tragedy, Marlin turns neurotically overprotective of his son (Germain, 2003)”. Marlin helps represent the struggle with chronic anxiety, and the effect it has on relationships.
He was especially paranoid and neurotic about any potential danger that could occur to Nemo, and as such, rarely left Nemo alone due to the traumatic experience of losing the rest of his family to a barracuda attack, and not wanting the same thing to happen to Nemo.
Personality. Marlin is both caring and kind, but can also be nervous and jumpy. He loves Nemo dearly and would do anything to protect him. At the beginning of Finding Nemo, it is shown that Marlin is often overprotective of his Nemo, hanging over him and frequently fussing over his "lucky" fin.
Buoyed by the companionship of a friendly but forgetful fish named Dory, the overly cautious Marlin embarks on a dangerous trek and finds himself the unlikely hero of an epic journey to rescue his son.
Dogs and cats are the most common animals used for anxiety and depression. A dog is the best pet for a child with anxiety since they can be trained as service animals who will know how to address a situation where a child may have a severe attack, tremors, or seizures.
Marlin chooses to name his only surviving child Nemo, a name Coral had liked. As Nemo grows, Marlin becomes very overprotective of him, in part due to Nemo's unusually small right fin, which was a result of the egg damage from the barracuda attack.
Dory's anterograde amnesia (inability to form new memories) leads this dynamic duo into some unexpected and sometimes dangerous situations including surfing sea-turtles, mazes of jelly fish, and recovering fish addicted sharks. Throughout, Marlins impatience with Dory's deficits leads to conflicts.
Marlin is Nemo's father, who is careful, meticulous, and sometimes too jumpy and anxious for his son's liking. He named Nemo's smaller fin, his lucky fin, which happened when Marlin found Nemo's egg cracked after the barracuda attack.
“Did you know that Crush is portrayed “high” because Sea Turtles actually eat jellyfish and the poisons inside the jelly doesn't actually harm the turtle but instead intoxicates them much like marijuana does for humans,” the search result states.
Nemo is a curious and impressionable six-year-old, only child who lives with his overprotective, single-parent father, Marlin. Having led a sheltered life, Nemo brims with the excitement of starting school and finally seeing the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
Book 6. The wildly popular, ever hilarious Dory Fantasmagory series is back for a sixth adventure, with Dory turning separation anxiety into a ghostly, goofy escapade.
The companionship that emerges is completely genuine. Nonetheless, Dory and Marlin's relationship is a complicated and interesting one. Some view Dory as Marlin's companion and speculate that the two are actually lovers.
In a flashback Dory hears her mother crying in fears of being relocated to another aquarium, so she left to retrieve a shell to cheer her up, to which she was pulled away by an undertow current out into the ocean.
