Rapunzel: Rapunzel has signs of Stockholm Syndrome, a syndrome in which a hostage starts to feel sympathy for their captor. Mother Gothel has kept Rapunzel imprisoned to a tower for the majority of her life, and the two have become close.
Rapunzel syndrome is an extremely rare condition associated with trichophagia (hair eating disorder) secondary to a psychiatric illness called trichotillomania (hair-pulling behaviour). It is most commonly seen in children and adolescents. Untreated cases can lead to a number of complications.
Elsa, the Ice Queen, the sister with magical power from Frozen suffered from Major depressive disorder. She was unable to control her emotions which later hurt her younger sister Anna.
10 DISNEY PRINCESSES Whith Serious Mental Disorders šøšµ
What Disney character has ADHD?
I'll startā Belle is obviously an Inattentive ADHD queen. I rewatch the opening scenes so many times with the āher head buried in a book/in the cloudsā part, and end up in tears everytime. Maybe also Mulan with her taking notes on her arm, running into things, constantly lateā¦
Snow White can be classified as having Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The Princess meets all eight of the criteria listed in the DSM-V to diagnose PTSD (See Appendix A). First, she directly experiences a traumatic event relating to a near death experience (Criterion A1).
But she also has hidden disabilities ā obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety disorder. So Elsa, the queen whose hidden condition is dramatically revealed, feels like an ally. "Elsa says, 'I don't care what they're going to say,' and I love that line," Liebowitz says.
Ariel from āThe Little Mermaidā has been headcanoned as autistic, because no one who sings a song about wanting to not just learn about an interest, but literally be in that world, is neurotypical.
While there appears to be no evidence that creators Chris Sanders and Dean Deblois intentionally made Lilo autistic, it is a widely accepted theory among fansāespecially for those who are on the spectrum or believe themselves to beāthat her neurodivergence is at least implied, much in the same way that other Disney ...
Pinocchio also let down the āgood-heartedā blue-haired fairy who appeared in different forms to guide him. And he rejected the counsel of the wise ātalking cricket.ā Pinocchio manifests the signs of a child with an oppositional defiant disorder.
This ar- ticle describes the Pinocchio Syndrome, which is based on the children's story writ- ten by Collodi (1880/1993) and represents a personality type that manifests characteris- tics of both narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder.
We witness multiple instances of Rapunzel grappling with her Stockholm Syndrome throughout her experience, including the conflicting emotions she vocalizes after first escaping, and even after she discovers how smart and strong she can be from her and Flynn's misadventures.
A: Mother Gothel in Disney's Tangled. In this re-telling of the classic Rapunzel story, Mother Gothel is a narcissistic, emotionally abusive sorceress who abducts the infant Rapunzel from her crib. Mother Gothel raises Rapunzel as her own, isolating her in a hidden tower to control Rapunzel and her magical hair.
In the 1989 animation, Ariel gives up her voice to Ursula the sea witch in exchange for legs. While Ariel is hesitant, Ursula reminds her that she will have no need for her voice above water.
In her initial film, Ariel is referred to as having a āmost beautiful voiceā multiple times. She is known throughout Atlantica for her immense vocal prowess. Her temporary disability of muteness is more noticed by characters later.
She was the subject of the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning biographical film Temple Grandin. Grandin has been an outspoken proponent of autism rights and neurodiversity movements.
Although Elsa's disability is encoded as a magical ice power, the language the film uses to talk about her condition maps on to the experiences of people with physical, mental, and intellectual disabilities in recognizable ways.
Yes, this is liberating. But is it healthy? In Part I of the Frozen series, I suggested that Elsa experiences something like borderline personality disorder (BPD). In this interpretation, Elsa's frozen rages are an outward display of the emotional dysregulation she feels inside.
To put it bluntly, Cinderella has more patience than any other Disney character in existence. What some people tend to forget about her story is that she never wanted the fairytale narrative. She never wanted to marry a prince, she simply wanted to go to a ball.
Eeyore displays some of trauma's most common effects. He has a classic case of depression, which is coupled with a negative outlook on the world. And he's extremely hard on himself. For him it's easier to just recede from the world than to engage in life.
