As a father I’m subjected to hours and hours of Winnie the Pooh viewing pleasure. I’ve long contended that all is not right with the furry inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood. Now it seems I was right. I found this article published in the Canada Medical Association Journal that confirms my suspicions.

In summary:

Pooh Bear
ADHC and OCD

Piglet
Generalised Anxiety Disorder

Rabbit

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Owl
Reading Disorder

The gloomiest diagnosis is for poor little Roo:

We especially worry about baby Roo. It is not his impulsivity or hyperactivity that concerns us, as we feel that those are probably age appropriate. We worry about the environment in which he is developing. Roo is growing up in a single-parent household, which puts him at high risk for Poorer Outcome. We predict we will someday see a delinquent, jaded, adolescent Roo hanging out late at night at the top of the forest, the ground littered with broken bottles of extract of malt and the butts of smoked thistles.
