The most popular character on this list is, of course, Anna from Disney's 2013 animated film Frozen. Anna is a perfect example of what it's like to have ADHD. Throughout the film, she is depicted as extremely impetuous and impatient as well as someone who gets delighted by the most basic of things.
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.
What sets Elsa apart from the mass array of Disney princesses is her inner battle with mental illness, anxiety and depression. In Frozen II, Elsa is the only person who can hear a voice but everyone couldn't.
Furthermore, another thing in the series that has grasped people's attention is the condition that Kristen's character Anna suffers from - Ombrophobia, which is the fear of rain. Surely, not many of us have heard of it before and believe it to be as fictional as the narrative itself.
Dora is the pseudonym given by Sigmund Freud to a patient whom he diagnosed with hysteria, and treated for about eleven weeks in 1900. Her most manifest hysterical symptom was aphonia, or loss of voice.
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).
The original Beauty of Beauty and the Beast did suffer from Stockholm syndrome. She developed feelings for the Beast under duress, alone and unsupported, rather than through genuine connection. However, as the story has been altered for modern audiences, elements of Stockholm syndrome have all but vanished.
Tiana. Tiana from The Princess and the Frog turns into a frig after she kisses a frog prince. She suffered from Zoophilia which is a sexual disorder involving attraction to animals or desires to have sexual contact with animals.
Self-isolating, immobilized by the weight of personal expectations, and largely unable to experience joy, Elsa is the Anxious Girl's heroine. The model for Disney princesses has changed over the years, but every one of them has fallen somewhere between aggressively perky and blindly optimistic.
Flounder in The Little Mermaid: Paranoia and anxiety.
Pocahontas - Pocahontas
The sad truth is poor Pochaontas is a schizophrenic. Wandering off from her tribe, she spends her days playing out her delusions in the wilderness of rural Virginia and the shock announcement that she is to be married to one of her father's warriors only increased the intensity of them.
1) Calvin (Calvin and Hobbes)
Charlie Bartlett
There are times when Charlie doesn't appear to be listening when given instructions by others. Daydreaming, difficulty falling asleep, impulsivity and mood dysregulation are a few other challenges Charlie faces daily. I think this movie aptly depicts the daily challenges of living with ADHD.
There are several Freudian interpretation and psychological disorder that can be found in Beauty and the Beast story. They are: Stockholm and Oedipus complex syndrome in Beauty and severe depression in Beast. The syndrome exists whenever both Beauty and the Beast try to repress and manipulate their unconscious realm.
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.
“Belle and her father are considered odd," Hainted continues. "Because they change and age! They moved to the village after the curse took affect. The Enchantress' magic keep people from remembering too far back so they don't know why they think Belle is odd, so they make up a reason.
Rapunzel
Rapunzel was dangerously naive. Like, the most naive of all the naive princess. Which, yes, one should expect from someone who spent her entire life locked in a tower. But that means when Rapunzel was finally out in the world, she had to rely on a random dude to rescue her.
Merida, a princess of the mystical Scottish highlands, has not only the archery skills of Katniss Everdeen in "The Hunger Games" but the parent-stopping pout of Bella Swan in "Twilight." She sulks with a brogue -- "Ach, Mom!" -- but her eye-rolling and tantrum-throwing are universal.
Actually, Ariel cries *a lot* for a Disney princess. Most have that ONE SCENE; Ariel has like 3, maybe 4. Definitely one of the more emotional ones.
Dora's also believed to speak about three times louder than the other characters in the series, because of her mental disability. She also suffers from classic ADHD, which is why she can't remember what map told her three times.
