but also i feel like its stigmatizing too by putting some cartoon characters in place of real life clinical disorders when its a childs cartoon/movie not meant to convey these disorders. i mean in MY understanding i dont think this movie was meant to.
I've always found it amusing just like the concept that the characters of gilligans island are meant to portray the 7 deadly sins with gilligan representing sloth---------however I don't think a therapists office is an appropriate place to hang it because it minimizes the experience to some extent....
