Benchmark – Anxiety and Phobias Paper
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.

to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of

behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also

shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.

were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids

maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-

Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how

does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids

that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-

dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how

does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids

that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
behavioral model is one of the most used techniques nowadays. Plus, seeing that Marlin also
has anxiety, cognitive-behavioral therapies have been proven to work.
Making sure that the correct treatment takes place when dealing with patients that have PTSD
is very important. A new group of therapies, sometimes called the new wave of cognitive-
behavioral therapies, has emerged in recent years (Comer & Comer, 2021). It includes
acceptance and commitment therapy. It helps the patient understand and accept their problems
instead of judging them and acting on them. That will help them recognize what they have
going on and help them face the anxiety. Without having them go through anxiety and manage
their symptoms. Which is always the goal of all treatment. Music is another way that can help
with treatment. Based on Music Therapy theory based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the
anxiety experienced is caused by the existence of cognitive distortions or negative thoughts
related to powerlessness or inability (Situmorang, 2021). Marlin field was powerless once his
wife was eaten.
On a final note, delving into understanding how stress is connected to Marlin's disorder and his
irrational or abnormal behaviors, identifying the psychological model that best explains his
character, and exploring possible treatment options could greatly aid Marlin's journey.
Marlinhaving to experience many things in life is one of the reasons that he had anxiety and
PTSD. Once Marlin found his son and had to face all his fear alone the way they were able to
understand each other. Marlin did not have to hide from his son anymore. Having a condition
like this should be something that everyone should get treatment for. Marlin, being a fish, could
not get the treatment that a real patient could get. However, the movie really showed how
dealingwith our fear can help guide us through our conditions.
Mental health is something that everyone should learn about and be seen in the movies ortv
shows as a normal thing. Everyone should be able to see them self in the big screen. Anxiety
and phobias are something that a lot of people have but it not seen. Movies like Finding Nemo
show how Nemo's father, Marlin, suffers from anxiety and PTSD after losing his wife. Anxiety
and PTSD are one of those things that are part of stressful events in life. It all started before
Nemo was born. Marlin went through a traumatic situation, and Marlin saw his wife and the
rest of Nemo's siblings being eaten by other fish. Marlin is able to rescue Nemo and has never
let himtravel outside their house. However, the first time out of the house, Nemo gets captured
by a human, and Marlin tries to save his son once again. To better understand Marlin's character,
it is important to explore how stress relates to his disorder, his irrational or abnormal behaviors,
and which psychological model best explains his condition. In addition, discussing possible
treatmentoptions can provide insights into his journey toward healing and recovery.
During stressful situations, our body goes into what is called a fight-or-flight response. That is
one of those amazing things that the body does to help us out of dangerous situations. If
astressful situation is perceived as extraordinary and/or unusually dangerous, we may
temporarily experience levels of arousal, fear, and depression that are beyond anything we have
ever known (Comer & Comer, 2021). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common, severe,
debilitating, and often-chronic psychological disorder in the aftermath of traumatic events
(Kratzer et al., 2022). Those traumatic events lead to stressful situations, and patients fear
certain things in life. Acute stress disorder occurs in reaction to a traumatic event, just as PTSD
does, and the symptoms are similar (AMA, 2013). Marlin losing his wife and most of his kids
were stressed, and making sure the same thing did not happen to Nemo gave him the anxiety
to do things. Venturing outside their home and encountering large fish triggered flashbacks of
the traumatic incident, contributing to Marlin's PTSD. The fear of losing his only child gave
him anxiety.
Marlin displayed his behavior in different ways. DSM-5 pays more attention to the behavioral
symptoms that accompany PTSD and proposes four distinct diagnostic clusters instead of three
(AMA, 2013). One thing that he does is not let Nemo go to fish school or even go outside the
house. The time that they are going to leave the house, Marlin makes him go in and out multiple
times. Once he does takes him to school, he follows Nemo during his field trip to check on
him. Marlin does not trust anyone with his son, and he does not even trust his son. Because he
pushes his son and thinks he's not strong enough to be in the ocean. Nemo does something that
gets him into trouble. People that deal with PTSD feel excessively alert (hyper alertness), be
easily startled, have trouble concentrating, and develop sleep problems (Comer & Comer,
2021). Marlin displays some of those symptoms, and he is easily startled because he is always
on the lookout for bigger fish that want to eat him or Nemo.
One psychological model that has to do with PTSD, in Marlin's case, is the cognitive-
behavioral model. The cognitive-behavioral model of abnormality focuses on the behaviors
people display and the thoughts they have (Comer & Comer, 2021). It deals with the thoughts
and behaviors of the person and often impacts feelings and emotions. The foundations of CBCT
for PTSD are based on the cognitive-behavioral interpersonal theory of PTSD, which posits
that there are processes within and between members of a couple that contributes to the
maintenance of the disorder and its relational comorbidities (Fredman et al., 2021). Cognitive-
