Introduction
Adrian Monk uses his own techniques to solve the mysteries. Although the murder of his wife Trudy makes him suffer from the disorder, but his determination helps him to recover soon and come back as a private detective.
Like other fictional characters in crime novels, Adrian Monk also has an assistant who has zero detective capabilities and a brother who also possesses some incredible abilities which he uses for solving mysteries.
Monk suffers from 312 phobias including sharp or pointed objects, vomiting, crowds, snakes and elevators to name a few. Due to being a part of such phobias, Monk always avoids touching anything bare hand so that germs do not catch him and he also avoids eating anything that people have already touched before.
This is what makes him so dependent upon his assistants. His first every assistant was a nurse who helped Monk to recover from his illness, but later on, started to serve him as a personal assistant. After a couple of years, her first assistant returns back to her ex-husband and marries him and then Natalie Teeger joins Monk as his assistant.
Adrian Monk suffers from an obsession to note down every minute detail and this is what makes him so proficient in solving the cases. Although being suffering from various disorders and phobias, he manages to grab hold of all the evidences and link them to solve the mysteries.
