How The Grinch Stole Christmas
John Kerhoulas
Overview of Depression
Examples From the Movie
The Grinch would go around on Christmas Eve and steal all the presents from families and little children. There would be no reason for a happy person to do this so he must be depressed.
The Grinch had a dog named Max and he typically didn't treat him well whatsoever. He tied antlers to him to try to make him something that he wasn't (a reindeer) and he constantly abused him.
Symptoms And Causes
Symptoms
In the movie, the Grinch was always very angry. He never did happy things to other people and he didn't treat his dog well.Causes
The causes of his depression may be that he is out on his own all the time. He lives on the top of a mountain so there is nobody around him to cheer him up. Because of this, there is also nobody to tell him that he is being mean or acting in a way that he shouldn't so it never stops.
