Winnie The Pooh! F*cked up in the head

Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and their forest friends are "seriously troubled individuals" according to Canadian researchers.
Far from being the innocent world it appears to be on the surface, Hundred Acre Wood is, say the reseachers, a place where psycho-social problems are not recognised or treated.


In a report published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, the specialists suggest AA Milne's characters would be better off with psycho-active drugs and more parental guidance.

Lead researcher Sarah Shea said the purpose of the tongue-in-cheek study was to remind people that anyone can have disorders.

Shaken bear syndrome

Pooh, a bear of very little brain, is said to suffer from the condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).


His fixation with honey and his repetitive counting behaviours suggest he may also present obsessive compulsive disorder, according to the report.

Pooh's learning problems could also arise from him being dragged downstairs by Christopher Robin, bumping his head on each step - a possible case of "shaken bear syndrome", asks the study.

"We cannot but wonder how much richer Pooh's life might be were he to have a trial of low-dose stimulant medication," say the researchers.

Piglet obviously suffers from generalised anxiety disorder according to the study.

Anti-panic agent, it says, would have saved him from the emotional trauma experienced while attempting to trap heffalumps.

Man, things must be really slow up there in Canada.

What Americans wouldn't give to have that kind of spare time...

Well, Canadians started Winnie the Pooh, so I guess that it is only right for people to medically examine the fictional characters...... LOL.

There's an entire book dedicated to talking about how Pooh is the perfect Taoist. I haven't read it, but it actually sounds pretty interesting.
