The Human Mind

Teen Wolf takes viewers through a specific part of the human mind, pushing them to examine dreams vs. reality.

The character Stiles Stilinski evolves every episode of the show, but this third season has been a breakthrough for the character on a whole new level.

 
 


Actor Dylan O'Brien brings the character Stiles to life and has been pushed this season from a funny sidekick to a more serious and dramatic role.

How will Stiles' mind affect him next?




This video shows Stiles' dynamic struggles with reality and dreams. The viewers watch as he goes through different stages that affect his body and mind.

Teen Wolf touches on issues that can be experienced outside of the shows world. Panic attacks, blackouts, anxiety, sleepwalking, dreams and even frontotemporal dementia find a way into the show.

Viewers are able to relate to Stiles through the variety of issues he is struggling to overcome. His fight against these problems and how he works through them can be beneficial to viewers.

Witnessing someone's struggles, how they deal with that, the solutions and support systems display solutions for those of us who may be going through similar ordeals.

Everyone can experience a darkness, a flare in imagination whether it be good or bad, but how do we stay grounded through tough times?

At what point does a person lose their mind?

The loss of a person's mind is an interesting idea that writer and producer Jeff Davis plays with throughout the third season which is still airing new episodes.

  1. Producer Jeff Davis does a plausible job at interweaving the complexities of typical teenage life along with the dynamics of psychological and physiological concepts that may interfere with any age group, allowing the show to reach many viewers at any age. Your claim that this technique can be beneficial to viewers is valid and is a valuable asset to the show.

    1. Jeff Davis also created Criminal Minds which is another show I enjoy. It is always interesting to see how he incorprates the human mind.
