Question

How would you describe Rip Van Wrinkle mental state

Answer 1

Answer: Social anxiety, disturbances, hyperphagia, and more.

Explanation:

The story about Rip Van Winkle is following the man who fell asleep as a young man and he woked up decades later as an old man with a beard.

It is referring to that time flies and that people can spend their time more preciously.

• If we are talking about his condition, Rip Van Wrinkle is also synonymous with social anxiety and people who have intermittent hypersomnolence, hypersexuality, hyperphagia, and behavioral disturbances. They are the ones who will rather stay at home in bed and escape from all the problems and from all the people just because they are feeling safe in their comfort zone where nothing is happening and they are feeling safe because there is no possibility that something bad will happen.
