*** That would probably depend on the emotional disorder. If a person is suffering from, let's say, bipolar disorder, each of the emotions would probably be fighting for control in their person's Headquarters. Causing the person to be angry one minute and sad the next. Also, a lobotomy (a form of brain surgery) would, in fact, effect the emotions. People who had a lobotomy tend to be emotionally stunted or even change completely. So the emotions would probably become more cautious or just lazy soon after said surgery. Or maybe the control panel is changed in a way that prevents the emotions from working efficiently.

** Anger and Fear being in charge of Riley's Dad also makes sense given that the move appears to have been motivated by a new business and he's understandably worried about making sure that everything works out both for his family and his business. He's stressed, essentially, and Anger (Frustration) + Fear (Worry) = Stress.

** What's going on in the minds of people with emotional disorders?

* It's been established that the emotions don't live in Riley's physical brain, but in a dimension in her head, so they're affected by brain freeze (which affects the head, not so much the brain). So if something physical happened to Riley's brain (like brain surgery), the emotions would be fine. But what if Riley gets a psychological disease like Alzheimer's later? Will the emotions stay, will they change, or will they still be there but with memory orbs and the like disappearing and the emotions being ''[[InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn powerless to do anything to help her?]]''

* Okay, we know emotions are created when a person is born into the world. But what happens, say, if someone passed away? What ''would happen to the five emotions within that person's head''?! Will they pass on too, or simply just vanish? And what will happen to the brain's command center as well as the surrounding structures outside? Will those suffer the same fate too? It's horrifying to think about.

* Dreams are created in Dream Productions. So if Riley has a nightmare, do those at Dream Productions want her to experience it and feel afraid ''on purpose''?

*** WordOfGod seems to [[http://www.slashfilm.com/pixars-inside-new-info-plot-characters-locations-plus-video-blog/ support this]]. The Emotions aren't Riley, but they are linked to her and serve as guides who love and protect her. She doesn't choose what she feels, that's the emotions' guidance, but she ''does'' choose how to act on her feelings.

* The control panel inside Riley's mind is considerably smaller than those inside her parents' minds. Perhaps this is because Riley is only a preteen, and therefore doesn't have as much knowledge of ways of responding to situations as do her parents. Hence, her "control buttons" are fairly limited.

** I think it would be more accurate to consider a mix of both interpretations to be correct, in a way: seeing as the Emotions don't really ''directly'' control Riley's precise actions and words, it could be that while the Emotions do guide Riley into certain feelings, acting as [[TheConscience a sort of group conscience]], it's Riley herself for the most part who chooses how to express her emotions. Somewhere in the middle of the SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate.

**** Which lends itself to a bit of FridgeBrilliance: Of ''course'' Riley's emotions are out of sync and prone to conflicting and poor judgment. She's an ''adolescent girl.''

* The trailer shows that in Riley's father, Anger is the seemingly dominant emotion, but for the most part be consults with and issues orders to Fear and ''only'' Fear. Makes sense considering that anger is the emotion that takes charge when we're nervous and desperate for a way to power our way out of a situation.
