* AmbiguousDisorder: Julien's father goes through extreme mood swings during the movie. When he's not performing strange acts like drinking from his sandal or dancing alone while wearing a gas mask, he's occasionally depressed for no reason and becomes abusive to his kids. He's also prone to go on bizarre tangents and will occasionally try to bribe Julien into dressing in his mother's clothes.

* OedipusComplex: This is hinted to be the reason for Julien's relationship with [[spoiler: Pearl]]. She took on the role after his real mother died and will pose as her over the phone when Julien tries to call her in heaven.
