Robin 's Behavior And Suicidal Behavior

Lizzie Borden is a very known serial killer but not by killing plenty of people, but only killing her father and step­mother. Along with her time period, the late 1800’s, it was very unknown for women to be killers and were seen as the “weaker sex”, which is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Borden was so popular for this case. But how do you get away with a murder of your parents? Lizzie Borden was born on July 19th, 1860 in Fall River, Massachusetts. First born, Emma Borden, was very prepared at age of 6 to have a baby sister (Alice) and teach her how to love and would protect her from anything.

Robin continued to display binge-drinking behavior at an intermittent frequency and often engaged in restricted food intake with consequent eating binges. Despite these behaviors, Robin was able to function well in work and school settings, until the age of 27. She had earned her college degree and completed 2 years of medical school. However, during her second year of medical school, a classmate that Robin barely knew committed suicide. Robin reported that when she heard of the suicide, she decided to kill herself as well. Robin displayed very little insight as to why the situation had provoked her inclination to kill herself. Within weeks, Robin dropped out of medical school and became severely depressed and actively suicidal. A certain chain of events seemed to precede Robin’s suicidal behavior. This chain began with an interpersonal encounter, usually with her husband, which caused Robin to feel threatened, criticized or unloved (usually with no clear or objective basis for this perception. These feelings were followed by urges to either self-mutilate or kill herself. Robin’s decision to self-mutilate or attempt suicide were often done out of spite accompanied by the thought, “I’ll show you.” Robin’s self- injurious behaviors appeared to be attention-seeking. Once Robin burned her leg very deeply and filled the area with dirt to convince the doctor that she needed medical attention- she required reconstructive surgery. Although she had been

Diana suffered from a traumatic childhood due the sudden death of her younger sister as well as an unsteady home life, as her father re-entered her life after leaving the home for 10 years. I believe that it was due to these stressful life events that Disco Di developed a diathesis for depression, suicidal thoughts, and personality disorders. She developed a diathesis that can be looked upon as a “cry for help” and she experienced emotions that can be defined as hopelessness, grief, a feeling of no escape as well as self-defeat. (Williams and Pollock 2011) “Genetic effects, childhood abuse, and epigenetic mechanisms may be involved in the etiologic of the diathesis to suicidal behaviour. (Mann and Haghgighi, 2010)” The stresses carried with both psychological and environmental factors lead to her inevitable diagnosis of both MDP and

Suicide affects many all around the world and suicide rate keep increasing, making suicide a growing concern. In the film Cake, the main character Claire Bennett develops an odd fascination with the suicide of a woman from her support group. In this paper, I will focus on Claire.

These short and simple paragraphs convey Christopher’s thoughts and opinions towards his mother’s death. However, strangely there is no emotions conveyed in this passage which suggests that Christopher has a very different way of thinking and processing events to a ‘normal’ person. He did not seem to be upset with the loss of his mother at all.

Suicidal people often understand things that might seem incomprehensible to most. And they strangely display clarity of mind in most cases. Evidence shows that most suicide notes contain instructions of the concrete sort that are rational and comprehensive. This shows that they are rational in one way, though many might say they are not in the case of taking their lives. Their minds are made up and they rationalize the very action the way one would do for other situations. Hannah displayed a clairvoyance of thoughts throughout it all as evidenced by the tapes. The only thing which makes such an action different from any other is the metaphysical and ethical aspect of the action itself. This is the proposed “sane” side of the suicide theory of this research

Ruth receives the news that her mother has passed away. She “howls out of grief” and falls to the floor weeping of her mother’s loss” (216). Additionally, Ruth is depressed for many months and could not consume food. Ruth wants to commit suicide, since she feels responsible for her mother’s death.

Looking at the symptoms such as anxiety attacks, overeating, fear of accomplishment, fear of abandonment, and so forth—can be interpreted as outward manifestations of unconscious conflicts that have their origins in childhood experiences and defensive reaction to these experiences that are necessary to her as a child.

Robin deeply craved approval from many people, including his friends. Brother Luke used his own time and patience to help and teach Robin. On his journey to John’s home, he used many of the skills he learned from Brother Luke. John and Brother Luke were both proud of Robin and all his efforts. After rescuing the castle, the King held a large feast for the army and the citizens.

Many people who suffer from this disorder may have suicidal thoughts, bi-polar disorder and also depression .Upon her arrival at the institution she meets some of the patients who she quickly starts to connect and develop a bond with especially with one of the patients named Lisa who is diagnosed as a sociopath. Psychiatrists and psychologists states that a sociopath is someone with a personality disorder who “displays antisocial tendencies that are ascribed to social or environmental factors.” Other definitions include “A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood.” (Dr.Axe, 2017). With this being said anyone could suffer from a personality disorder and majority of the time it goes unnoticed because we end up blaming other people for the way we feel or react to certain situations. As the movie goes on we are introduced to another woman named Daisy she suffered from compulsive eating disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and also self harm.

It was said that Ruth is overweight and showed little success in dieting. This could be a tell-tale sign that she may have lower metabolic activity. This, coupled with a reduction in the volume of gray matter in her prefrontal cortex may result in her having serious depression (Saveanu & Nemeroff, 2012).

The size of the band of Merrymen is becoming too large for the economic resources available. Robin is feeling like he is not in touch with his employees because of the increasing size of the band.
