I would add category of histrionic personality Disorder and make blanche from a streetcar named desire - think this diagnosis fits her better - sexually provocative to men, theathrical, attention seeking.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.237.100.201 (talk) 16:58, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Add to list of Obsessive compulsive Disorder girls(tv series) - lena dunham
Obsessive compulsive Disorder (ocd) vs Obsessive compulsive personality Disorder(ocpd ) - these movies Obsessive compulsive Disorder which is anxiety Disorder not personality Disorder - ocd obsessions which cause anxiety & lead to compulsions which one is driven to perform, ocpd preoccied with ordiliness, perfectionism
I think you guys are confusing the two, these movies featured Obsessive compulsive Disorder ,see wiki article
OCPD is often confused with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). Despite the similar names, they are two distinct disorders, although some OCPD individuals also suffer from OCD, and the two are sometimes found in the same family,[20] sometimes along with eating disorders.[21] People with OCPD do not generally feel the need to repeatedly perform ritualistic actions—a common symptom of OCD—and usually find pleasure in perfecting a task, whereas people with OCD are often more distressed after their actions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.237.100.201 (talk) 16:48, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

message: I've added the 2007 film Numb which depicts depersonalization disorder - which is a dissociative disorder. I'm only specifying this here because most on that list seem to feature DID which of course is only one of the dissociative disorders.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.57.148 (talk) 05:31, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Why is this film listed under Borderline Personality Disorder? The doctor in the film only mentioned dissociative identity disorder. BPD wasn't even alluded too. Does someone have a source for why they included this film? If not, I'm removing it. Wanderingsilverstone (talk) 03:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Smeagol had dissociative disorder and it's clearly shown in the film. I'll add Two Towers and Return of the King to the list because it is shown throughout those two movies.Demoman87 (talk) 21:10, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

message: 1. the madness of king george- king george the iii did not have schizophrenia, but porphyria. this physical condition had significant psych effects (akin to the list labeled AIDS-related psychosis), but not schiz.
2. the hours is listed under both aids related psychosis and other/unspecified.
3. There is dispute as to the diagnosis of david helfgott, the character palyed by geoffrey rush in shine. it is inconclusive whether or not it is/was a "stress disorder" (or schizoaffective, schizophrenia, etc...)Platypusjones 18:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The movie "Mr. Brooks" had a character who had another personality, but he could see it as another person, and it could remember things he didnt. Just thought that would be put for consideration, on which category to put it in.
 
*More than one identity in a single character is a common device in fiction. It's interesting but it doesn't mean the character has DID. This is the same issue I have with Fight Club. Six bricks (talk) 14:25, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Under the autism category it lists the amazing 1993 movie House of Cards.  Problem is the link goes to the 1990 British Mini-Series also called House of Cards.  This link error needs to be fixed, but I have no idea how to do it.
 in the DSM-IV TR, as described on the CDC website, and on the Wikipedia page, as normal developm
Also - I believe the movie diagnoses Sally with autism, when in fact she has symptoms more concurrent with Childhood Disintegrative Disorderent for the first two years of life, followed by loss of important functioning skills before the age of 10, in at least two of the following areas "language skills, receptive language skills, social skills and/or self-care skills, bowel or bladder control, play skills, and/or motor skills" and also "abnormalities of functioning in at least two of the following areas - social interaction, communication, and/or repetitive behavior and interest patterns".  Finally the "disturbance is not better accounted for by another specific Pervasive Developmental Disorder or by Schizophrenia".   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_disintegrative_disorder
In the movie, Sally had normal, if not gifted development, as shown by her mother's tapes of her speaking in various languages at a young age, among other proof.  This problem is that although it was originally described in 1908, it was not recognized as a diagnosis until recently, which means that it probably was not in the DSM-III, and the DSM-IV was not released until 1994, after the movie had been released.  This is an issue with the movie itself, but I did want to point out the common misconception with the movie and it's category. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_disintegrative_disorder
:Thanks for your input. I fixed the link. Childhood Disintegrative Disorder is under Autism Spectrum Disorders, so it's ok where it is, these are broad categories as films are open to interpretation.Tstrobaugh (talk) 01:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I think it should be moved to the Miscellaneous section, because the Ed Norton character doesn't meet diagnostic criteria for any of the dissociative disorders. Six bricks (talk) 14:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Fight Club]] 

message: This movie should be under Dissociative Disorders and not under Schizophrenia because the main character (played by Jim Carrey) suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder or Dissociative Identity Disorder in the movie, not Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is not a split personality or one or more other personalities.
