Norman Bates suffers from dissociative identity disorder and psychosis. He blacks out and takes on the personality of his overbearing mother Norma, who he lives with at their motel. Norman kills his father during a blackout and keeps his mother's death a secret by keeping her body in their house. He struggles with his identities and mental state, often lashing out violently without knowing due to the stress.

14. MY TAKE
 The creators of this series actually based it on
some guy named Ed Gein. Who also had the
same disorders.
 They director really studied Ed Gein on how he
acted and what would trigger his mental
disorders
 They really wanted to give people insight on
what life is like with these kind of mental
disorders which I believe they did a great job on.
