Corie+Charlie+Fineman

A behavior disorder is a mental health problem with the focus on a specific behavior that includes both emotional problems and social problems throughout the development of a person's life. A man by the name of Charlie Fineman, has lost everything-- his wife, three daughters, and dog to one of the planes that happened during the 9/11. After the traumatic event, he has shut himself away from the world as he has no desires to talk about his family, and he gets enraged with the subject of them. There was also a particular scene where he was screaming at even the sight of a photo of his family. Another scene that struck me was when he finally goes to the Timplemans and finally opens up to them by speaking. He explains how he doesn't need pictures or anything that are related with them because in his mind, he is able to see them everywhere, and everyone's faces he sees, he sees theirs.

Charlie Fineman has Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) because it is an anxiety disorder that develops after some sort of severe traumatic event or experience. In Charlie's case, 9/11 was a traumatic event because he lost all his family due to the event which caused him to block himself from the world. Some of the symptoms may be depression, anxiety, or irritability and Charlie has these symptoms in that he is extremely uncomfortable at the sight of his photos of his family, and since he shuts himself away from the world and refuses to talk about (in the beginning, at least) his family, there is a higher chance that he does have PTSD.

The type of treatment I would use is the cognitive behavioral therapy which is apparently the most effective therapy for PTSD. There are different types but what it's basically doing is that your therapist helps you understand what you are feeling at the moment and tries to change your negative thoughts of the traumatic event that will make the symptoms even worse. There will be a deeper understanding where your problem truly lies as they go into the nutshell of your behavior disorder and try to have less distressing thoughts. Also, it's always good to talk about your feelings instead of shutting them out, because you will have a better comprehension of where exactly your head is out, so that we can change those negative thoughts. Furthermore, what I would do if I was his friend was try to seek professional help for him, or a trained therapist so that the treatment would be effective. I am aware that there is not a definite percentage that it will work certainly, but I believe that it will get better as time progresses.

In conclusion, because of the traumatic event that took place in Charlie's place, he shut himself away from the world and refuse to seek help as he was in a depressed state for quite some time now. According to the movie, he was feeling extremely uncomfortable and even had enraged angry outbursts when the people around him were talking about the subject of family, or were trying to push into talking about the event that took place in Charlie's life. It got to a more extent, that in later on, we can see that everywhere Charlie goes, he sees faces of his family through other people's faces. However, later on, as time passed on, he accepted the professional help that was being taken place by talking about which is one of the key treatments that I would use to help Charlie. Charlie does have PTSD because it is a clinical disorder since Charlie was technically stable before the event, and since the traumatic event effected him into where he was unwilling to seek help or talk to the people around him, we can see that he does have PTSD.
