introverted-sensing in a logical way

helps John in being even more self-assured than

he otherwise is.

anything he does not understand.

I think the best line from any Sherlock Holmes movie

from Jude Law portraying Watson,

"I never complain! How am I complaining? When do

complain about you practicing the violin at three in t

morning, or your mess, your general lack of hygiene,

that you steal my clothes? When have I ever complaiyou setting fire to my rooms? Or, or, the fact that you

experiment on my dog?"

Disorder(s):Somatic symptom disorder and related disorders (later disappeared),


25/33

possible form of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)

DSM-5 criterias

Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is characterized by somatic symptoms that are either very distr

or result in significant disruption of functioning, as well as excessive and disproportionate thoughts,

feelings and behaviors regarding those symptoms. To be diagnosed with SSD, the individual must bepersistently symptomatic (typically at least for 6 months).

The diagnostic criteria for the manuals next edition identify the trigger to PTSD as exposure to ac

death, serious injury or sexual violation. The exposure must result from one or more of the follow

which the individual:

directly experiences the traumatic event;

witnesses the traumatic event in person;

learns that the traumatic event occurred to a close family member or close friend (with the ac

or threatened death being either violent or accidental); or

experiences first-hand repeated or extreme exposure to aversive details of the traumatic even

through media, pictures, television or movies unless work-related).

The disturbance, regardless of its trigger, causes clinically significant distress or impairment in the ind

interactions, capacity to work or other important areas of functioning. It is not the physiological resu

condition, medication, drugs or alcohol.

Compare and Contrast

Out of 5 of Sherlocks friends, Watson is one of them .

They both have selfless bonding at any extent, but these b

two different characters.

Holmes is the detective and Watson is his sidekick. This

Sherlock look superior.

As the detective, Holmes has two very important characteis observant and deductive.

On the other hand ,Watson is not so observant and deduct

He is very slow and misses clues, which Sherlock quickly


30/33

In some of the phrases , without Watson, Holmes would

as good a detective and would not be able to explain his mthe readers.

Watson does not seem as intelligent as Holmes in the storcan see in reality he is as smart as Holmes.

In the stories Sherlock Holmes it is explained that he is m

stronger character than Dr.Watson. This is because Holmes is the center of attention, as he is

detective. If Watson was not present there would be no ShHolmes stories.


31/33

After all, Watson was an army doctor in Afghanistan got to be

active to be an army doctor and intelligent. Of the two, We would say that Watson, perhaps, had the bette

being that Holmes took cocaine, and Watson tried to stop him

Watson did not have the powers of observation and deduction

Holmes did, but it got better.

'Experts' say that as time went on, Holmes became more like

Watson became more like Holmes.
