After reading chapters 1-10, please respond to the following:
In you opinion, what are the psychological reasons for Holden’s "madman days around Christmas"?
Research the symptoms of:
-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
-Depression
-The five stages of grieving and loss
-The impact of death on a family
- And/or any other reason you think Holden might be failing out of school and wandering New York City.
Give Holden your diagnosis and find out how doctors would treat him today. What symptoms does he have that leads you to this diagnosis? Give specific examples from the story so far to support your answer. Would Holden be on medication?
