Did wewe know the Winnie-the-Pooh characters all represent mental disorders!

Winnie-the-Pooh may seem like an innocent children's story on the surface, but after deeper inspection it doesn't appear to be so! Journals published in the Canadian Medical Journal have shed new light on the characters.

First written kwa A. A. Milne in 1926, and after being acquired kwa Disney, Winnie-the-Pooh went on to become one of the most successful children's series of all time. However, it turns out there are immense psychological undertones throughout the series and each character was meant to portray a different disorder. Tigger has severe ADHD, Piglet has anxiety, Rabbit has OCD, Owl has narcissism, Eore has extreme depression,Christopher Robin (Represents Schizophrenia (He has delusions kwa seeing the other characters, they are not real to anyone else but him.) while Pooh represents an eating disoder!

lil_lycanthrope This is really cool. I would have never of guessed. I still love Winnie the Pooh though.

Chelsboo6 I don't think giving all the characters disoders was meant to be a bad thing I think it was to done to teach kids about these disoders without scaring them to much.

MortalAnonymous I'm not sure I believe this. If it were true, what about the other characters? Roo, Kanga, Lottie, Uncle Robert? I tried to look up the research, but all I could find was the same list and GIFs over and over. I think this is another case of character flavor being read too far into and being rumored out of control. So yeah, I'm not buying it without some real evidence. Without a quote by Milne himself, there's only speculation anyway, and boy do people like to read between the lines. Some folks just looove to add dark layers to kid's media.

wawafeth i still LOVE winnie the POOH <3 <3

Rebel4018 😔 Well, there goes MY childhood.

swampfox31 Childhoods ruined: +1 Just kidding. That's actually a very interesting way to think of it.
