This aligns with J.K. Rowling's explanation of the dementors being a metaphor for depression caused by personal trauma. The time I left New York to move to Olympia and work as the in-house. A few key moments that come to mind include: 1. Fortunately, Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) is on hand to explain to Harry that the reason the Dementors affect him much worse than other students is that he has experienced far more trauma than anyone else. I have embarrassed myself probably thousands of times in my life so far. That is far from the last time Harry could collapse when faced with a Dementor, and he grows to feel extremely self-conscious and ashamed of what he views as his lack of mental toughness. The Slytherins, led by Draco Malfoy, lose no time in roundly mocking Harry for his fainting spell. In the face of the creature's ability to suck all the happiness out of a person and leave them with nothing but their worst memories, Harry finds himself completely overwhelmed, to the point of passing out. News of Harry's collapse quickly spreads around the school. The dementors are brought to Hogwarts in Harry's third year to protect the school from Sirius Black, and Harry has his first run-in with a Dementor on the Hogwarts Express at the start of the year.
