There's a clear history of numerous fractures. Like here on the skull. Everything is perfectly aligned. It almost looks as if the bones healed themselves the instant the injuries occurred. You seem to have made a series of miraculous recoveries, but that doesn't change the fact that you experienced trauma. You've recovered physically, but... have you recovered mentally?
When humans are in crisis, the brain releases the hormone cortisol. Your heart races, your muscles tense... I wonder if your body is reacting to a Simpson equivalent of cortisol. Homer, do you remember anything bad that... particularly stuck with you?
Well, I kind of freaked out when I didn't get my Christmas bonus from Mr. Burns.
And then I got fired and tried to jump from a bridge... My whole family decided we should electrocute each other in shock therapy... I got lost in the woods... I fell into the Springfield Gorge... I ate fugu fish and thought I had 24 hours to live... My half-brother disowned me... I was sent to a mental institution for wearing pink, I worked two jobs and barely slept so I could afford a pony for Lisa... and that's just the early stuff.
