2. "CHUCKY"
• CHUCKY IS A "LOVEABLE" AND QUITE HELPFUL
INDIVIDUAL FOR THE SONS OF ANARCHY
MOTORCYCLE CLUB. IF ANYONE HAS SEEN THE SHOW,
OR POSSIBLY THE NEWEST INSTALLMENT TO THE
HOLLYWOOD MOTORCYCLE T.V. DRAMA SHOWS, "THE
MAYANS M.C.", THEY KNOW THAT HE HAS
PROSTHETIC HANDS/FINGERS, BUT WHY?
4. OCD-
THE BAD, UGLY, AND UNAVOIDABLE…
OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER (OCD) IS A COMMON, CHRONIC AND LONG-LASTING DISORDER IN WHICH A PERSON HAS
UNCONTROLLABLE, REOCCURRING THOUGHTS (OBSESSIONS) AND BEHAVIORS (COMPULSIONS) THAT HE OR SHE FEELS THE URGE TO REPEAT
OVER AND OVER.
CHUCKY HAS AN INABILITY TO STOP HIS MASTURBATION, THIS URGE WILL LEAD TO THE ULTIMATE DEMISE OF THE USE OF HIS HANDS.
5. SIGNS AND
SYMPTOMS OF OCD-
• COMPULSIONS ARE REPETITIVE BEHAVIORS THAT A
PERSON WITH OCD FEELS THE URGE TO DO IN RESPONSE TO
AN OBSESSIVE THOUGHT. COMMON COMPULSIONS
INCLUDE:
• EXCESSIVE CLEANING AND/OR HANDWASHING
• ORDERING AND ARRANGING THINGS IN A PARTICULAR,
PRECISE WAY
• REPEATEDLY CHECKING ON THINGS, SUCH AS REPEATEDLY
CHECKING TO SEE IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED OR THAT THE
OVEN IS OFF
• COMPULSIVE COUNTING
THE COMPULSIVE
SIDE OF OCD
6. COMPULSIVE
MASTURBATION
• “CHUCKY” ONCE MANAGED THE
BOOKKEEPING FOR HENRY LIN AND
THE LIN TRIAD, BUT WAS KICKED OUT
FOR STEALING FROM THEM. WHILE IN
PRISON, CHUCKY WAS REPEATEDLY
PHYSICALLY ABUSED AND WAS
EVENTUALLY PROTECTED BY OTTO
DELANEY OF THE SONS OF ANARCHY
MOTORCYCLE CLUB, A FELLOW INMATE
OF THE CORRECTION FACILITY
STOCKTON STATE PENITENTIARY,
WHERE THEY WERE BOTH BEING HELD.
“CHUCKY” SUFFERS FROM
COMPULSIVE MASTURBATION AND AS
SUCH HAS BEFALLEN A HORRIBLE FATE,
BY A FORMER BOSS AND HEAD OF A
CHINESE-AMERICAN CRIMINAL
SYNDICATE CALLED THE “LIN TRIAD”,
HENRY LIN.
7. One of the fundamental hallmarks of compulsive sexual behavior is
continued engagement in sexual activities despite the negative
consequences created by these activities. This is the same
phenomenon seen in substance use and impulse control disorders.
Psychologically, sexual behaviors serve to escape emotional or
physical pain or are a way of dealing with life stressors(US National
Library of Medicine, Understanding and Managing Compulsive Sexual
Behaviors)
Compulsive Sexual Behaviors……
8. WHEN LEFT UNTREATED?
“ALTHOUGH MOST ADULTS WITH OCD RECOGNIZE THAT WHAT THEY ARE
DOING DOESN’T MAKE SENSE, SOME ADULTS AND MOST CHILDREN MAY NOT
REALIZE THAT THEIR BEHAVIOR IS OUT OF THE ORDINARY…. IF LEFT
UNTREATED, OCD CAN INTERFERE IN ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE”(NATIONAL
INSTITUTE OF MENTAL HEALTH- OCD)-LIKE CHUCKY, AND MAY LEAD TO….
10. Saved by S.O.A. (well, almost..)
Once on the outside of prison, while with the Sons of Anarchy,
Chucky’s disorder became too much for them, and they
returned Chucky to the Lin Triad. Chucky’s disorder was too
much for the Triad as well; Chucky found himself relieved of his
compulsive disorder, via the method of digit removal, meaning,
the Triad removed his fingers, literally. Chucky could no longer
“please himself”, even if he had wanted to (real compulsive
masturbation is not associated with a sexual self-serving
nature, it is more of an anxiety driven disorder). Upon the
removal of Chucky’s fingers, the Triad gave the disfigured man
back to the “Sons”, since he had lost his usefulness to them.
11. POSSIBLE
TREATMENT/PROGNOSIS:
PHARMACOTHERAPY-
•WHY??
SSRIS MAY DECREASE THE URGES/CRAVING AND
PREOCCUPATION ASSOCIATED WITH SEXUAL
ADDICTION
IN THE SYNAPSE OF THE NEURONS, SOMETIMES THE
SEROTONIN IS NOT ABSORBED/RELEASED CORRECTLY,
THUS AN SSRI MAY BE PRESCRIBED TO ASSIST WITH
THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.
SSRIS ARE SOMETIMES
USED TO TREAT COMPULSIVE
DISORDERS, LIKE COMPULSIVE
MASTURBATION.
12. CONCLUSION:
• IN REAL LIFE THIS COULD HAPPEN; HOWEVER, NOT LIKELY.
CHUCKY’S DISORDER [LEFT UNTREATED] COSTED HIM HIS
FINGERS AND ARGUABLY- A “CERTAIN” USEFULNESS OF HIS
HANDS. WHEN LEFT UNTREATED, THIS DISORDER CAN
BECOME A REAL PROBLEM FOR INDIVIDUALS AND THE
CONSEQUENCES CAN BE NUMEROUS: LOSS OF
RELATIONSHIPS, LOSS OF PRODUCTIVITY, FINANCIAL
LOSSES, THE LIST GOES ON.
CHUCKY LOST HIS FINGERS DUE TO HIS
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER, BUT IN
REALITY:
