Episode notes

Hannah is a kid who's being, seems to be being chronically ignored by her parents. And so when that happens, you make big moves sometimes to get your needs met. I think seeing that is an important part of making a diagnosis with anybody. But looking at a person without understanding the impact of their home life ignores that kids that legitimately have oppositional defiant disorder show it regardless of how much love they're shown.

We are finally discussing our first Wes Anderson movie, Moonrise Kingdom! We focus on the two main characters, Suzy and Sam. We break down the movie’s idea of an “emotionally disturbed child” and discuss the following topics: intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder; as well as the significant impact of both characters’ home lives on their presentation in the world. So put on your khaki scout uniform and your favorite French pop record and join us!
