So, of course, my first client is Bella Swan. Some people say that Bella Swan has single-handly put back women's liberation 500 years; I say that she is just in need of some serious therapy.
Keep in mind that I am diagnosing her post "New Moon" - so I diagnosing her as an adult. Thank God, I am not treating her as an adolescent because I would be so busy reporting to the Department of Child and Family Services (DCSF) that I wouldn't have time for anything else!

Mental Health For Fictional Characters
I was watching "Twilight: New Moon Saga" the other evening and I became very concerned about Bella Swan. She clearly has a plethora of mental health issues, yet is not getting any help! I began to think about her diagnoses and subsequent treatment options because - unlike Edward and Jacob - I care. I then thought about all of the other fictional characters out there who need my help, so I began this blog. Just because you are a fictional character doesn't mean you shouldn't get help.
