First of all, assessing one’s behavior is mostly subjective and might vary of different cultures. I would diagnose a “behavior disorder,” if one is not considered to be a part of or be in same standards with other regular people. Of course, such only deals with behavior. For instance, from a recent movie I saw, Hencock can be diagnosed of suffering from behavior disorder. Most regards him as abnormal considering his behavior. Same for Charlie, many including him think he’s suffering from behavior disorder. All try to help Charlie since they know he’s having hard time with sharing past traumatic events. From what I’ve recognized from the movie, Charlie is suffering from escapism, from a wide general view. He knows why he is suffering and what he doesn’t want to remember and that he needs help. He completely changed and concealed his past memories about his bygone families. However, it is just what other see. Charlie is extremely reserved person and tries to avoid any conflict with those who remember his family. Escapism though he suffers from, he still finds himself caught in the doldrums of his past memories about kitchen remodeling. All together, Charlie want to get over his past memories, but they don’t go away as easy as he thought they would, and finally searches for help, because they’ve become too much burden for him.

As told in the movie, Charlie should find someone whom he can share with of his traumatic moments, or “things that he doesn’t want to think about.” First step toward the society was toward Jonathan, and Charlie started get know more people who might be helpful in his recovery. If Charlie was my friend, then I would first try to talk with a good psychiatrist I know, but does not let Charlie know that I offered help from the psychiatrist and also not let Charlie know the psychiatrist. In that way I can learn from the psychiatrist how to treat people suffering from traumatic behavioral disorders. And as I start to introduce Charlie to some of my trusted friends, hoping it would drag Charlie out of the vicious cycle. Then I would ask Charlie if he would be fine with meeting a psychiatrist and getting help. From then, I would stay as a spectator who would check up Charlie’s improvements in behaviors, similar to what Jonathan did in the movie, except that I started out with knowing the fact.
