Norman Bates Dissociative Identity Disorder

The disorder that I’ve chose to write my paper on is Dissociative Identity Disorder. Dissociative identity disorder is a mental reaction to interpersonal and ecological anxieties, especially during early youth years when passionate disregard or abuse may interfere with identity improvement. About 99% of the people who get dissociative identity disorder perceived individual histories of repeating, overwhelming, and regularly life-undermining unsettling influences at a touchy formative phase of adolescence. It usually occurs before age 9. Separation may likewise happen when there has been diligent disregard or psychological mistreatment, notwithstanding when there has been no unmistakable physical or sexual abuse.

I feel as if things in his past led up to him being this way. There were multiple things he had to go through while he was you, at least that we’re aware of. While Norman was growing up he watched his dad abuse his mom. It is often said that when children watch things such as abuse, it can really affect them and often times they end up with a disorder (mainly aggressive ones). Norman walked in on his dad dead in a garage not aware that he was the one who killed him. His older brother wasn’t around in fact he didn’t get a long with their mom at all. Family issues also tend to be something to trigger problems with kids. Norman walked in on the death of the previous owner of his and his moms new house in White Pine Bay after his mom killed him. They then had to cover up his death. Things like this tend to mess with someone’s head. Through all of this Norman thought something was wrong with his mom and not him. Which she did, she had borderline personality disorder and schizophrenia. Individuals with Dissociative identity disorder often suffer with other mental illnesses such as ptsd (posttraumatic stress disorder) borderline or other personality disorders, or conversion disorder. This can be connected to Norman’s mother having borderline personality disorder and him now having dissociative identity disorder. Norma had a terrible childhood.

Not only did the character that I chose to write about have a disorder but his mom did as well. That’s already a possible family trait. Norman looked so innocent but so much was wrong with him, strangers couldn’t tell and he couldn’t tell either. If I could change something, I would make him get treatment and see if much changed. When being treated for Dissociative Identity Disorder, it takes a lot of time, so even if he were to start getting treatment so late, it could possibly or possibly not help him. This particular type of media makes this disorder look frightening. Imagine walking around doing things such as committing murders and not being aware. The show makes it look as if you won’t be able to tell at all and also as if others around you wouldn’t be able to tell either. The image portrayed doesn’t relate to current health policies and therapy practices simply because I believe that today, Norman’s mother would’ve took him to get treated. You don’t have to admit to the wrongs he’s done if you’re scared of him being arrested but he still deserves to be
