7. Ariel: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Brought to popularity by the recent live-action remake with Halle Bailey, The Little Mermaid focuses on a young mermaid princess who fantasizes about living on land as a human. She may show signs of OCD, which is a disorder that can cause recurring uncontrollable thoughts or obsessions, as well as a likeliness to engage in compulsive behavior in a way that interferes with daily life. Her willingness to sacrifice her voice for Prince Eric, and her obsession with collecting dry-land objects are both symptoms.

8. Rapunzel: Stockholm Syndrome

Originally a tale written by the Brothers Grimm, this movie tells the tale of Rapunzel, a princess with long, magical hair who is kidnapped by an elderly woman named Mother Gothel. Mother Gothel raises the child to use Rapunzel’s magical hair to keep her young. In the story and film, she’s kept away in a secluded tower, dealing with emotional abuse. Still, genuinely cares for Gothel, which leads people to say she has Stockholm Syndrome, a proposed condition for hostages who develop a bond with their captor.

9. Cinderella: Dependent Personality Disorder

Cinderella was released in 1950 when women were expected to clean, cook, and have children. At the time, they were expected to be docile and submissive, which explains why Cinderella depended on others. In the movie, she loses her father and is taken in by a cruel stepmother. She needs to be rescued by her Fairy Godmother, who acts as a caregiver, before marrying a prince who takes care of her.

10. Snow White: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder 

Snow White was the first Disney princess ever. She was born a princess and lived with her evil stepmother after being left an orphan. The stepmother was jealous of the girl’s beauty and saw her as a threat because of her looks. She obviously experienced trauma since just being beautiful got her into trouble with her stepmother, who also killed her father and wants to now kill his stepdaughter via a huntsman who will kill her, remove her heart, and bring it back as a trophy. We’d say that would likely lead to PTSD.
