Mental Illness and To Kill a Mockingbird

By Alex Bixenman, Jasmine Bryant,

Cody McDowell, Victoria Smith, and

Aaron Elswick

Schitzophrenia

A scan of the brain of

a person with Schitzophrenia

Schitzophrenia is also found in children and

has they same symptoms as adults with the

same disease, but minors cannot be diagnosed

with any major mental disorder because all

adolescents profile like sociopaths.

Schitzophrenia often causes

catonic or hyperactive behavior

and sometimes

violent tendancies

Schizoid Personality

Disorder

Schizoid Personality Disorder is

much like Schitzophrenia, but

without the hallucinations and

delusionary tendancies

Boo's highly indifferent behavior toward

stabbing his father but without signifigant

evidence supporting delusions and/or

hallucinations points toward Schizoid

Personality Disorder (flat effect.)

BiPolar Disorder

The scan of a person's brain

who has bipolar disorder

Boo's going from phsycotic

enough to stab his father with

a pair of scissors and go right

back to calmly making his scrap-

book suggests Schitzo and Bipolar

Disorders.

Society and the

Menally Ill

Throughout history, society

has cast out those who they

believe are different or not

"normal." The mentally ill

bear a very large brunt of this.

Certain treatments such as

lobotomies, straight jackets

and electroshock treatments

have been used on those who

society has deemed "Not All There"

This goes back to Boo (2 slides previous) and how he

was locked up in the courthouse. He was also often treated

as an outcast and/or very poorly by the residents of

Macomb County.

Many of the people feared him beacause of his differences

FIN

The Official Ending

While To Kill a Mockingbird never specifically

tells you what Boo has, much of his behavior

points toward Schitzophrenia and/or Schitzoid

Personality disorder

The voices told me to do

it!

They tell me evil things!
