Diagnosing Harry Potter Characters with Dr K! #drk #harrypotter

What would you diagnose Voldemort with?

>> Antisocial personality disorder.

>> What would you diagnose Cedric Degree

with?

>> Normal. Normal, healthy development,

secure attachment. You know, does pretty

well. Cedric's dad may have some degree

of like trophy, golden child, narcissism

extended through a son.

>> What about Hermione?

>> Normal.

>> She's not OCD.

>> No.

>> What about Fred and George?

>> Also normal varants. Maybe if anything I

mean I don't think they have this but

oppositional defant disorder is probably

a streak that they have but I don't

think that it really qualifies. They

just break rules and it's within normal

variation.

>> Okay. What about fellow tricks?

>> Um let me think. So I don't know if

there's a discreet diagnosis for this

but like basically she exhibits behavior

consistent with people who are deep into

cults. So she's certainly somewhat

sociopathic. to some degree of

antisocial personality disorder, but she

has like obsessional

>> worship cultlike perspectives towards

Voldemort. It's not clear that she

actually has a history of trauma or

substance use. I think people would be

tempted to diagnose with with her with

something like BPD, but I think that's

kind of like an unfair characterization.

So, I think she's just obsessional. If

anything, the best way. So she's

interesting because I think she has a

lot of like features of illness but

doesn't fit diagnostic criteria for

anything except for ASPD, antisocial

personality disorder. So she has like

low level of distress tolerance, high

impulsivity, is very prone to negative

affect, right? So it's not like she's

depressed or bipolar or borderline. She

clearly doesn't have any empathy for

other people. But I think her key thing

is like she's got this weird obsessional

cult streak which I don't know what the

diagnosis of that
