#mental disorder headcanon

[bitchapalooza]

Something something I think the Vinsmokes should have adverse effects to show how their brains and genes were literally rewired to the point where they probably classify as a subspecies of human. Certain parts of their brains were suppressed and altered, their whole nervous systems probably altered too. Literal genome manipulation was done. And let's not forget about the drug Sora consumed while pregnant. If it made her sick, who's to say it didn't cause irreversible effects on the babies, too? God I bet Chopper has a field day when examining Sanji, especially after his mutations start to take effect. His tests might come back inconclusive or with unusual results in general. Any brain CT could look completely fucked, abnormal and concerning, when actually for him it's healthy and as it should be. The siblings are literally a doctor's/researcher's dream patient.

And idk how to fit this into the post exactly but Ichiji having this morbid obsession with the human brain to the point it HAS to be a sign of a mental disorder that cant be properly diagnosed due to the suppressed emotions and Yonji having pica due to some alterations done to his brain or perhaps a trauma response but because his emotions/ect. we're fucked with there's really no way to properly know being two hcs of mine. That also includes how Sanji responds to anything even vaguely explicit; his libido, and his brother's for that matter, all being altered in some way, from extreme levels (Sanji) to minor (Ichiji).

*Clears throat into the mic*

Adam is ASPD-coded. He repeatedly has difficulties with empathizing with the other characters in the two seasons. He’s hyper-focused on his goals to the point that he neglects to consider others in mind. He has a tendency to control and dominate in his relationships. These are all ASPD traits listed in the DSM-V.

This is the same guy that was A(. Completely ok with cracking someone trapped in ice and potentially killing them in the process as long as the person inside was not one of his teammates, and B(. Told the fourteen year old redhead with parental issues and self-worth insecurities that the only reason they were put on his team was because “there was an opening, you were available” in the most nonchalant way possible.

Adam from The Hollow does not understand how emotions work but he still tries his best. Like he is genuinely an asshole sometimes but when he knows he does something wrong, he makes up for it because he knows what’s right in the end and he still cares for those who are closest to him. He just needs the consequences of his actions spelled out in big letters sometimes. I love him for that.

As someone who has BPD I love Cluster B personality disorder representation that isn’t demonized! We aren’t inherently monsters! We can choose to be decent people just like a neurotypical person can choose to be a huge jerk.

…Also he’s giving Autoromantic. It’s a vibe. “I mean look at me! How could you resist?” Says Adam, who likely admires himself in a mirror daily and would probably kiss his clone if he had the chance. Good for him. I need the self-love he has. Go on casual dates with hot guys and then treat yourself to a movie night, Adam. Slay.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Have a nice day.

it's important to understand that dirk was not uniquely tortured or anything like that. in general it's not great to play the "who suffered most" game and going off the assumption that dirk had some kind of unique caliber of suffering compared to the rest of the cast feels like dismissing other characters and their unique challenges... also dirk already has a bit of main character syndrome within the fandom and those two things go hand in hand

[regular-gnome]

This theory has been in my head for awhile now so I’m gonna ask does way by any chance have schizophrenia because I noticed in one comic u made he talks to the dead skulls of the creatures he was once friends with, and that just made me think he is but idk if collectors can work like that (love ur work btw!)

In Way's case, they do it more out of comfort than delusion. They are aware that the skulls are dead and see the remains more like empty shells than creatures (or at least they are trying to, as it was explained to them that way before). But after their friends died, Wayfarer stayed there for months, during which time they developed a habit of talking to the bodies while they were skeletonizing. Refusing to face how isolated they were and that it was time to go back. After realizing they would be picked up soon, they took one of the skulls back to the archives. In their own internal monologue, they usually 'talk at' their friends like they were still having a conversatoin, but the skull functions more like a focus or keepsake that was passed on to them

While they can have develop their own share of mental issues, (the unfun part about mental health is that the problems can stack) I'm hesitant to make a clear association between them and a disorder, esssspecially one that is already often stigmatized. All of them have done terrible things, and I don't want to perpetuate the stereotype that anyone who isn't typical will become a monster, even if the things they did had other reasons

(thanks!!:D)

Headcanon that everyone thinks the brucie wayne persona is just bruce with mania

Here's why :)

Bruce having depression is most likely public knowledge, everyone knows he watched his parents die and he was definitely not holding it together after Jasons death. It also explains why he takes long breaks frequently (I know the cover story is sports injuries but that could be an excuse for anything, which the general public is aware of)

But Bruce doesn't act like a depressed person, and although thats not a reason to say someones not depressed, brucie wayne is literally the opposite of what depression looks like

He's energetic, implusive, over-confident, talkative, easily distracted etc which are all symptoms of mania. As well as the fact brucie is made out to be a frequent and heavy drinker

So there's a guy flipping between very high and low energy who has childhood trauma and alcoholism? That's pretty obviously bipolar. Which would also explain why he's so invested in health care donations because why would a rich guy care about a cause unless he had personal experience

This concludes my yap session 👍

[catnippackets]

one of my many beige flags is that I am completely normal with seeing anybody's personal headcanon of any character unless it's a character that I relate to so heavily to the point that I sometimes see screencaps of them and think "that's me", in which case I can only feel good about headcanons that also relate to me. you can make the most detailed essay length post about how he has a specific mental disorder and use tons of evidence from the show and make total sense but I'll still look at it and be like "but *I* do not have that mental disorder therefore he doesn't either". I won't like...COMPLETELY ignore any fan content like it but the entire time I'll be shifting uncomfortably in my seat like hm. this is not correct

What mental illness, mental disorders/disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, or chronic pains (or any other type of disorders, pains, sensory issues) do you think the batfam members would be diagnosed with?

Repost and answer or comment☺️

[greml1nb0i]

Im incredibly bothered with how SOME of the TADC fans headcanon characters. Specifically Jax.

I've seen posts of some people talking about characters "diagnosis", and its starting to piss me off as someone who actually deals with these sorts of personality disorders.

I want to talk about Jax specifically.

Im tired of seeing people use the diagnosis of Sociopath/Psychopath to describe Jax.

Do you guys even realize how offensive this is to people who actually suffer from personality disorder, such as BPD or NPD??

Just cus Jax has low/no sympathy/empathy that doesnt make him a sociopath or a psycho!! REAL PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH THIS! It's not an edgy thing you can just slap onto a character, its a detrimental disorder than can fuck with your life immensely.

Jax is just apathetic. He's not a sociopath. He's not a psycho. He's apathetic.

We also don't know enough about Jax yet. So STOP diagnosing characters. If you DO NOT have a personality disorder or are affected by these sorts of mental illnesses, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO HEADCANON IT; cuz you have no idea what its like to live in that persons head.

Not to mention, most people get their definition of socio/psychopaths from tv and movies, which may i remind everyone can and has mischaracterized these disorders.

Should i remind everyone how BAD Split mischaracterized the DID community. It made them seem like they were monsters and freaks. There are movies that mischaracterize autism and ADHD, TO THIS DAY. It's the same here except its a few of the fans doing it, for funsies.

This is not headcanon, these are real disorders, you are treating like a fucking joke cuz "oh but he is so bad"; you're basically saying people with these personality disorders are unloving assholes who love to hurt people.

I don't think Gooseworx is making Jax as apathetic as he is cuz they want him to be a psycho. Jax is just an apathetic character, who tends to make shitty choices. We still know nothing about him, besides his behaviors.

He's not a psycho. He's not a sociopath. He doesnt have whatever diagnosis you think he has. Stop using real mental illnesses for headcanons. We aren't some edgy writing trope for you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Screen Shrink (#1?): Milo Change

**This was written for funsies, strictly for funsies, and only for funsies. This is not meant to be taken seriously or as fact**

Okay, so...changing gears a little bit here from my typical game schpiels, but it's like, we've been hanging out together for a few months now, yeah? Yeah, so it only makes sense that I can share some of these little weird quips of mine.

So, fun fact, I am a mental health therapist~! So that means that I make money by listening to people vent to me about their problems, concerns, traumas, and all of that and helping them work through it. Another thing that I do for money is diagnose them. Kinda cool, huh?

Now, the reason why I shared that with you is because, I involuntarily start diagnosing characters when I watch TV and movies, or read a story or news article, or play video games...or visual novels lol. Anyways, the sole reason of this post being created was because I've been plagued with these thoughts for a while, and no one I know IRL either play or will admit that they play visual novels, so I have no one to share these specific thoughts with.

I may or may not make this a thing on my blog but meh. I just have to get this one in particular out. All of that being said...tell me that (OG) Milo Change doesn't meet the criteria for Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood.

Please let me explain, because this has been burning me for months.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Okay, so listen... Actually, let me preface this first.

People are very unique and very odd, and because of that, people don't always fit cleanly into a diagnosis. Why did I mention that? Because, sometimes, based on what a client is describing, it can fit the criteria of a certain condition but not meet the exact requirements. It's like when doctors diagnose an illness; you don't have the exact 3 symptoms for the flu, but you have 2 of them, so they diagnose and treat it like the flu until proven otherwise, hence why they say "flu-like" symptoms versus just "the flu".

Okay, so anyways, I said that, because some of you are probably like "Nah, Milo definitely has anxiety", and you wouldn't be wrong! Milo absolutely fits the criteria for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but remember that thing I mentioned about the "flu-like" symptoms? Therapists do the same thing. We either give a broad/general diagnosis (because we've gotta bill them under something, even if it's just very mild depression, so we can keep seeing them) or we give an extremely specific one; Milo's is -- or appears to be, because again, people are unique and odd, and what I see another therapist may not -- an extremely specific one, which is Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety and Depressed Mood.

In order to meet the criteria of Adjustment Disorder, you pretty much would have had to undergo a big change within the last 3 months, like a divorce, getting out of jail, having people move in, or something of the sort. Now, the "mixed anxiety and depressed mood" are what are known to be "specifiers" and those are pretty much exactly what they sound like -- they make the diagnosis more specific or explain it a bit more.

All that being said, it appears that Milo meets the criteria for Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety and Depressed Mood because:

- He had a major change in scenery from a small town to a bustling, city-based campus (adjustment) - Technically, we could include that he's getting used to being this psycho's someone's significant other...yeah, let's add that as an extra layer (adjustment) - He also has very low self-esteem and self-worth, so that very likely means he struggles with feelings of worthlessness (depression) - He be a touch starved boy (depression) - He has a pretty shitty set of "friends" that frequently mistreat him (depression), and this poor kid is probably trying to do everything in his power not to piss them off, but it's a constant guessing game (anxiety) - But he also opts to have them versus no one at all because it's hard enough putting yourself out there to meet new people to start with. Still though, it's like...damn, to be mistreated or to be lonely (depression and anxiety) - He's pretty jumpy when you speak to him, stutters a lot, (it looks like) he fidgets with his clothing, he's a nail biter, and frequently avoids eye contact (anxiety) - Not to mention that this poor baby has a general mistrust of new people being nice to him since he immediately thinks that they want something from him or playing a joke on him (anxiety)

Like, come on. You cannot TELL ME that that isn't -- likely -- adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood. The man is 100% an anxious wreck, but like, shit, I would be, too, if I left my familiar shitty environment to a totally new shitty environment; I knew what to expect at home, not so much here, ya get me?

Now, would I change this diagnosis down the line? Absolutely, because, if he's still an anxious wreck 6 months down the line, clearly it wasn't the change in environment that had him on edge like that, or rather that's not the thing that's continued to have him on edge like that. Initial visit, though? This is 100% what I would've given him if I did his assessment.

I just had to get this off my chest. I've kept this to myself for MONTHS now, and I just couldn't anymore man! But what do you think? You think another diagnosis would've fit him better? Meh, probably.

Anyways, thanks for letting me share that. I have a lot more characters I have diagnosis for that I'd love to share one day. That honestly may be sooner rather than later since I've broken the seal lol.

Welp, I've met my yap quota for the day...at about 2 in the morning (as of writing this) lmao. Big preesh for getting this far. Remember to drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around~!

I would very much like to hear your Vox headcanons

Takes a deep breath before opening my mouth cartoonishly wide.

Definitely was disabled during life but probably hid it pretty well. I feel like Vox was sick a lot growing up.

Having a body thats both mechanical AND flesh? Yeah that sounds like an actual nightmare to live.

The only upside is Vox using his electricity for weird electrotherapy. And sometimes he gets annoyed and overdoes it when he doesnt immedietly feel better.

Vox makes his own aids and equipment, and deals with most of his health issues by himself too unless its too bad.

Makes sure his aids are at least stylish in the VoxTek branding. But he doesnt sell them probably. Those are his. Made for himself.

Probably has arthritis and definitely Hypermobile and generally his body just HATES him tbh. Maybe EDS or even POTS. Chronic migraines too (you would too if you had a screen for a head!!!!!) Doesnt have a pinpointed diagnosis though. Vox just sort of Deals with his symptoms.

He didnt start having as much chronic pain until he really started focusing on upgrading himself and everything etc.

Hmmm....I feel like Alastor has arthritis so it was one of the things they bonded over when he were on good terms

I feel like it wasnt the root cause when he was alive but polio WAS kinda ....a thing...that was going on..

Teleports any chance he can get over walking long distances.

He wouldnt consider himself housebound but he kind of is? Not in a traditional sense, its more out of choice. He never really leaves the V tower unless he has to. Lives there, brought his work there so he didnt have to leave, literally moved his closest friends in, and then moved THEIR work in. Why would he leave he has everytbing he'd want.

Thats not even a headcanon Vox just. Did that.

I feel like he gets flare-ups pretty easily. Constantly overworking and getting generally just getting worked up over things (ALASTOR).

Probably prefers crutches and canes over a wheelchair when it comes to mobility aids. I feel he'd feel too short idk. but the idea of him in a wheelchair is very cool to me. Nerdy Evil Supervillian

Okay thats all for now thank you for letting me infodump tehe

BREAKING: Five Nights at Freddy's creator "Scott Cawthon" confirms in an interview that The Mimic has Histrionic Personality Disorder.

"he's got hpd n stuff"

[thelionprince]

Every time someone says that Goro Akechi has Borderline Personality Disorder, I'm torn between knowing that people can headcanon whatever they want and the fact that the only reason most of them think that is because they don't know about the practically canon reason.

Goro Akechi has Complex PTSD, which comes from prolonged trauma/abuse. It's also very commonly misdiagnosed as BPD due to a lot of similarities. Maybe Goro does have BPD, but he definitely has C-PTSD. He may have a personality disorder, but we know he has a lot of childhood trauma.

He has symptoms of both. Overlapping ones and exclusive ones. I'm not saying that he doesn't have BPD and just wishing that more people would recognize that it's more likely either C-PSTD or both.
