Episode 75 - “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” w/ Zheala Qayyum, MD

Welcome back to Analyze Scripts, where a psychiatrist and a therapist analyze what Hollywood gets right and wrong about mental health. Today, we are back again with our friend and child/adolescent psychiatrist, Dr. Zheala Qayyum, MD MMSc to continue our Harry Potter series journey! In this episode we analyze book three which is a fan favorite (and ours too). We see so much development in the trio as they come face to face with dementors, bullies and time?! The books get progressively darker as the trio age and face a different kind of threat. We explore depression and trauma symbolism as we analyze the dementors. New relationships emerge for Harry and we explore the role of friendships and supports during “pre-teenhood.” We hope you enjoy!
