Talk:Chris and mental healthcare

I thought the CWCki needed an article like this even though I didn't have a whole lot to contribute. Feel free to expand on it. Pugs Malone 19:22, 1 July 2009 (CEST)

• Oh Lord, this is going to be fun to watch. Everyone and their sister have their own theory about why Chris is fucked up, and whether or not he's really autistic, so let's hope this doesn't get ugly. --Champthom 21:20, 1 July 2009 (CEST)
• I actually conceived this article as an examination of his experiences with psychologists and his current refusal to see one, but if it goes on another path, I'm not going to stop it. Pugs Malone 00:56, 2 July 2009 (CEST)

I added a piece about narcissism as I felt it was sorely missing on a wiki about a narcissistic manchild. Should it get its own article or is it fine the way it is or should it be deleted? Suggestions plz! --Hayate666 11:16, 3 July 2009 (CEST)

Added a few examples and a tidbit on his refusal to get treated. Some other issues that might bear fruit...

• How Chris's jealousy manifests as outright hatred. What symbolizes this best, in my opinion, is his Animal Crossing card for Wes Iseli, where he's drawn with little evil eyes, and the back describes how bad it is that he's Sarah's girlfriend and how much Chris doesn't like him.
• His problems with recognizing voices, faces, and everything else. Is that autism related, Asperger's related, or something else?
• His fear of effort. Likely not a literal fear, but Chris seems to despise putting any more effort into things than he absolutely has to. His art hasn't really improved, for instance, it just goes through different imitative styles. Not a mental illness, but a definite psychological problem.

Mind, practically ALL of Chris's problems are psychological in origin, so this page could get mighty bloated (and I might be forgetting about a few pages that cover some of these bits in greater detail). We might stick to covering genuine mental illnesses here as opposed to idiotic quirks, which would go on their own page (e.g. linking "jealousy" to Noviophobia--I think I'll do that right now, in fact). Also, HOLY SHIT practically everything on that narcissism website could apply to Chris. Except maybe the "intelligence" part. Ensign disposable 00:29, 4 July 2009 (CEST)

• It might be wise we stick to Chris's views on psychology and what he thinks is wrong with him, as opposed to what we think is wrong with him. Yes, I myself like e-diagnosing him but everyone has their own theory about why Chris is fucked up and all the possible explanations for why Chris is fucked up could fill volumes. The narcicism thing is very good, but now that I think about it, maybe not an appropriate place. --Champthom 01:05, 4 July 2009 (CEST)

• Thanks for the constructive criticism guys. I've been mulling over the narcissism for a while now and this seemed a fitting way of adding it. I have some personal and professional experience with mental illnesses (such as narcissism and autism) and it is one of the main reasons I find Chris so amusing. Champthom: I'll keep the essay on my user page for anyone interested or for future use. --Hayate666 01:38, 4 July 2009 (CEST)

• I'm really glad that essay got saved as a subpage on your account. It's great. :3 Llort 01:41, 4 July 2009 (CEST)
• Enlightening, even. Ensign disposable 01:44, 4 July 2009 (CEST)

This should go with the rest of Chris and... series--Pikimon 19:08, 23 July 2009 (CEST)

This might sound a little stupid, but there's a point in here: My mom is currently working on getting a masters degree in therapy and becoming an accredited therapist (A step or two below a shrink, a few steps higher than Rocky). I'm thinking about showing her a video or two of CWC's and seeing her reaction, would you guys be interested in this?

tl;dr - I know somebody actually remotely qualified and I'd like her to e-diagnose Chris. - Needlepants 05:40, 27 August 2009 (CEST)

Destubification

Added some info about specific instances. I also don't think this really qualifies as a stub anymore, so it has been reclassified. --Fuckingstupid 12:52, 25 October 2009 (CET)
