Which video game characters have a mental disorder? I need to write a paper in psychology about mental disorders and i need to exame a fictional character too. I need to determine an illness for a fictional character by observing only, that is not knowing any prior history i just need to determine an illness just by watching them. Thank you!

I think one of the Kane and Lynch characters has a mental illness. But that might be a sensitive subject if ya know what I mean.

I believe one of the main protagonists in that 'Kane and Lynch' game is crazy, but I wouldn't use it after all the trouble it's caused

Almost every character in Twisted Metal.

The guy with the long hair from Kane and Lynch (Lynch I think).

I'm pretty sure Mario has a mental illness as well.

You can find tons of mental game characters.I dont think there is a single GTA with a Sane person in them is what first came to mind. It would be great to "label" all of the different characters randomly throughout.

The way the stories are designed whether or not they have a mental illness is debateable. It can be argued that they are in purgatory.

Mario had an inferiority complex. He was uncomfortable of his short, stocky build in lieu of Luigi's tall slender body. That's why he was always out tryin to save princes and gettin high on shrooms n ****.

I'll give you one that's not from video games: Nikki, from the TV show Heroes. She has the worst case of split-sided personality EVAR! (Go watch the 1st season of Heroes on NBC.com if you haven't seen them already.)

I think it's pretty apparent that Gordon Freeman has Social Anxiety Disorder, he never says a word. He also shows signs of Bipolar, he's a scientist that doesn't hesitate to kill anything that moves with a crowbar- which also shows an extreme descensitization to violence.

Chief Irons in Resident Evil 2 went insane. Lynch in Kane & Lynch suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. Any smattering of "crazy" characters like Kefka would count I suppose (but not for anything academically feasible). Killer7 is built around the idea of a person having multiple personalities.

Most games don't really address mental illness, let alone in anything other than "whacky" or "kooky" ways barring perhaps Killer7.
