Introduction
Biopsychosocial relates to biological, psychological, and social aspects in contrast to the biomedical point of a specific disease (Wijma & Nijs, 2016).
In the movie, the main character is Oscar, who has dramatically suffered depression due to the death of his father. Thus it is essential to consider the biopsychosocial aspects of this individual as expressed in the movie (Rudin, 2011).
Biological aspects: Oscar witnessed the death of his father while watching the tower collapsing, which his dad was in at that moment. He became so scared that he went to hide under the bed; this shows the panic, which is a mental effect. That situation causes him to suffer health problems such as insomnia as well. Sometimes when Oscar remembers the accident of his father, he gets anxious and starts even to injure himself (Rudin, 2011).
Psychological aspects: Oscar was nine years old when he experienced depression due to that explosion. This affected him to an extent where he suffered trauma. He goes ahead to tell his mother that nothing is real and beautiful. For a young person to talk in that manner shows that he had suffered psychological effects due to losing his father. Depression causes people to feel so weak and even so slow. Sometimes when Oscar remembers the accident of his father, he gets anxious and also starts to injure himself (Rudin, 2011).
Sociological aspects: He became lonely when he lost his father. The relationship between him and his mother worsen a lot. Oscar even told his mother that he wished that she had died instead of his father. This shows that his social life had really changed by the death of his father and the tragic accident effect as well (Rudin, 2011).
