The kid was two steps away from donning a dress and strangling several prostitutes

I totally identified with Kevin - when this movie came out and now. I was a kid like Kevin. He has anxiety. It's actually pretty common. Kids with anxiety worry about all kinds of things and they get extremely upset when things don't go the way they thought they would. They put a lot of pressure on themselves to make everything right. So yes, losing his retainer would have been a BIG BIG BIG deal to a kid like Kevin. Had I done something like that at that age, I probably would not have slept for days.
He doesn't need to be in a mental hospital, he needs adults who understand that he deals with anxiety and he needs to learn coping skills to manage it.
We understand these things now. In 1989 we were only beginning to understand what anxiety in children was.
