Winnie the Pooh needs behavioral meds

So I was just reading a study titled “Pathology in the Hundred Acre Wood: a neurodevelopmental perspective on A.A. Milne,” and I thought I’d share its abstract with you:

Somewhere at the top of the Hundred Acre Wood a little boy and his bear play. On the surface it is an innocent world, but on closer examination by our group of experts we find a forest where neurodevelopmental and untreated.

So what kind of mental problems are we talking about here?

• Winnie the Pooh: ADHD,inattentive subtype.

• Piglet: Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

• Eeyore: endogenous depression.
• Owl: Obviously bright, but dyslexic.

• Roo: Growing up in a single-parent household, at high-risk for criminal problems.

• Tigger: Recurrent pattern of risk-taking behaviours.

• Rabbit: No real problem, but that little rodent IS extraordinarily self-important, isn’t he?
