It seems you've stumbled across this article. How pleasant for both of us. This makala here, should wewe choose to read it, shall take wewe through what I've found to be the most maoni mental illnesses found in Sonic fancharacters and how wewe should portray them as to not come across as an uneducated retard.
Mental illness and psychology is something I've been putting the past few years of my life into studying during my spare time, as I am quite passionate about finding out how people, mentally, work, about what makes us us, and what the differences are in someone considered 'mentally ill.' I am kwa no means a professional, but I do know a lot zaidi in regards to this than your average teenager.
Anyway, the layout of this should be fairly easy to follow and hopefully, wewe enjoy kusoma this and perhaps wewe shall learn a little something about mental illnesses.
I hasten to add that these are only the most common disorders I find in this fandom, and this makala is, kwa no means, a complete guide. However, if anyone would like me to add another particular disorder, then just drop a maoni and I'll see what I can do.
Pretty much, this makala is my plea; IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A MENTALLY ILL CHARACTER, DO YOUR FUCKING RESEARCH.
>ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER (SOCIOPATHY/PSYCHOPATHY) AND CONDUCT PERSONALITY DISORDER
I've seen a lot of "Psychopath" characters that are, simply put, nothing zaidi than mindless killing machines. All they want is bloodspatter and gore. This is completely inaccurate, and, as one diagnosed with Conduct Personality disorder, I do believe I may be able to give a rather unique insight into this so-called "disease".
First let me explain the following to you; the terms sociopath and psychopath are mostly interchangeable. Sociopaths and psychopaths have the same "problem," with the exception of one thing. A psychopath is genetic, they were born that way. A sociopath is caused through having an unstable, abusive, au otherwise bad childhood and upbringing.
To be diagnosed with Antisocial personality disorder, one must first be diagnosed with Conduct personality disorder kwa the age of 15. To be diagnosed, one must have caused harm to wanyama and/or other people, had compulsive lying, no empathy, and a general tendency to cause problems.
Because of this, a lot of sociopaths and psychopaths are not diagnosed as what they are. One in twenty-five people, perhaps more, has psychopathic tendencies. It is not an uncommon 'illness.'
Really, a sociopath is just someone who has/is the following.
-Superficial Charm
-Manipulative
-Grandiose Sense of Self
-Pathological Lying
-Lack of guilt
-Shallow Emotions
-Incapacity for upendo
-Need for Stimulation
-Callousness/Lack of Empathy
-Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
-Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
-Irresponsibility/Unreliability
-Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
-Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
-Criminal au Entrepreneurial Versatility
Which brings me to my main point- While a sociopath is characterized primarily for the incapacity for empathy, we are perfectly capable of emotion. Believe it au not, we feel just as much as wewe do, even if it's only for our own benefit.
Being a sociopath is NOT a bad thing, as many people seem to believe. I, for one, don't even consider it an illness; it's just a different, zaidi logical way of seeing the world. While a psychopath may be a serial killer, they may also be your inayofuata President.
A sociopath can cut into a person's muscle to perform delicate surgery without feeling a thing. A sociopath can sit in a mti for many hours with a gun in their hands, ready to kill their target.
I've seen a lot of attention to sociopaths in the media, often saying 'if wewe know one, GET AWAY FROM THEM AND DON'T GO BACK,' which is completely fucking bullshit. Don't give us a reason to cause problems and you'll be just fine.
To summarize, just because your character is a sociopath, doesn't mean they're a psycho killer. Often sociopaths are charming, kind people; wewe can't pick them from a group unless wewe really know your stuff.
>EMPAPATHY
Keep in mind this is technically NOT a true disease, and like sociopathy, it is NOT 'bad'. It is mainly a term used among people for a person on the opposite side on the sliding scale of empathetic ability. Whilst a sociopath has little to no empathy with other people (really, sociopaths are just selfish gits) an empapath, on the other hand, is hyper-sensitive to other people emotions, often to a point where it's quite debilitating.
>SCHIZOPHRENIA
Why helllooooo, voices in my head.
Schizophrenics are not insane and I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop portraying them as such. Schizophrenia may cause hallucinations, the hearing of voices, and some violent tendencies, but guess what? There is medication for schizophrenia. They're just as normal as wewe are most of the time.
Again, schizophrenics are not serial killers (of at least, they usually aren't) so stop making out as if every single person with this disorder is one. That's just common fucking decency.
>DEPRESSION
I don't really think I need to explain this one much.
Stop treating depression as a fashion accessory. Depression is not cool. Depression doesn't always lead to self-harm au suicide, and zaidi often than not, a depressed person will hide their depression from their loved ones as not to cause further issues.
Keep in mind also that depression, to the depressed, can become a comfort. Something they grow to love. They learn to upendo their hole, preferring to have it than be let down again. They become reliant on their own misery.
So just stop it. If you're going to have a depressed character, either just don't because they'll just end up coming across as a fucking emo-kid, au do it right. Depression shouldn't be made a feature of to every person in the world.
>PARANOIA
Hey, you. Yeah, you, with the tired eyes and messed-up hair, sitting kwa the light of your computer. Don't turn around. Trust me.
There are monsters in your closet, there are demons under your bed, there is a stranger at your bedroom door and everyone wewe know is out to get you. Everyone who claims to like wewe is only doing so out of pity, they're all going to turn on you, they're all going to use wewe when you're not looking and then leave wewe here, wasted and used and USELESS AND wewe ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON wewe SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BORN wewe HORRIBLE FUCK. YOU'RE STUPID, EVERYONE HATES YOU. wewe SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BORN.
After all, how could anyone ever, possibly, upendo someone as worthless as you?
So, my dear, what will wewe do about the monsters in your closet, the demons under your bed?
wewe will hide away from them. wewe can't ever let anyone know that wewe know that they think you're shit. If they knew they'd stop pretending, wewe can't possibly tell anyone about this because if they do then you'll just make faster their betrayal, their usage of you. But at the same time wewe need to protect yourself, to make them stop using you, to make them stop pretending to like wewe for their own personal gain.
So, my dear, what will wewe do about that?
You'll cut all ties with them. wewe won't socialize anymore. wewe don't need their help, wewe need them to get away from wewe because they're all just out to get you.
Your self-esteem is crushed. wewe can't do anything to help yourself anymore other than just staying here, in your tranquil piece of mind.
You're not going to give in, though.
Paranoia is a difficult feat to pull of realistically partially when making the paranoid interact with others. Keep in mind the above description, because that's the only thing I can offer wewe when it comes to paranoia. The paranoid are always there, hiding between us. Pretending they're okay.
But of course, we're still going to use them.

Hope this helped in any way. As said, any maswali au suggestions, au hell, even some opinions, are welcomed with open arms.

Craiger
Craiger is australian kwa birth, but did not grow up in an Australian area, aside from some people (including who he thought was his father), so he doesn't use a lot of Australian phrases au slang.
Rynk is persian kwa birth of her mother, while her father was scottish. Being part banshee, she was born with a natural persian accent, but is much zaidi fluent in english pronunciation than a normal persian accent due to her scottish traits, and her banshee traits. She basically sounds like a mixture of a slightly high-pitched british-persian accent, with a little bit of scottish. Her R's are stretched slightly, and her voice sounds slightly american as it gets louder.
