Do all of our favorite Disney characters have mental illnesses?

Childhood Ruined Part Five: Hundred Acre Woods!

Far, far away in the Hundred Acre Woods is a story many children and even adults know and love. But looking deeper into the story you see that not only one or two but all six main characters seem to have a mental illness.

What if these characters don��t even exist; the obvious answer is that Christopher Robin is a schizophrenic and they all exist as delusions in his mind. Why fight for friends when you can just make believe them? Childhood 101.

If we put that disturbing thought to the back of our heads for a second, then we can open our eyes to the fact of every main character could possibly have a mental illness.

The main star, Winnie The Pooh, I would say he has Impulsive and Obsessive Fixations. His obsession for honey makes him climb a tree to raid a beehive just to eat, regardless of the unknown future.

Of course the conveniently named piglet, Piglet. Piglet lives in constant stress. He is worried over the slightest everyday activity to my opinion describes General anxiety disorder. The anxiety that most people can handle day to day, is overwhelming for him.

His house has to be clean, clean, clean! Rabbit shows signs of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. He practices military dictator-ism on his friends and is constantly cleaning.

The most blindly obvious issue of the all, Eeyore is constantly pessimistic. Eeyore shows signs of Depressive Disorder he lives his life unable to appreciate even the smallest things in life.

And of course Tigger, consistently showing signs of Attention Deficit Disorder. Not only can he not sit still but he bounces through his friend's lives like a tornado, causing chaos wherever he goes! That may remind you of some of your own friends!


This article is not to say these disorders are any laughing matter; they are serious mental health issues. This is based on opinion not me diagnosing her.

Until next time. Live, Laugh, and Prosper my friend.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
