That wasn't a problem in the movies, was it? It's not like he was like:

Bates: Hello

Bates' Mom: Hello

Bates: How are you -

Bates' Mom: *stab stab stab sta-*

Bates: Oh dear are you oka-

Bates' Mom: Die!

It was not like that. He just wouldn't change back and forth like a light switch. It was triggered by different events and actions by different people.
