* LaughTrack: In keeping with the {{Sitcom}} theme of ''The Mental Illnesses'', the series utilizes canned laughter. [[MoodDissonance The laughter plays even when nothing funny is occurring]].

Although it’s not clear if this applies to the entire series.]] Schizophrenia is the [[FourthWallObserver only one able to hear the laugh track]].

* BaitAndSwitch: In an example of TrollingCreator, the entire series is technically a bait-and-switch. The original “The Mental Illnesses” video came out directly after the last ''Centricide'' video. The video portrays the concept of [[AnthropomorphicPersonification personified]] mental illnesses as flawed and possibly harmful due to how simplified they are. Some took it as a satirization of ''Centricide''’s concept. At the end, Neurotypical declares the series a very bad idea and states “there should not be any more of this.” On [[https://twitter.com/mc_swm/status/1361800381408415749 Twitter]] Jreg posted the video and made a poll captioned “Should this be the next series” with both answers of the poll being “no”. Three months later? It’s an actual series.

* {{Sitcom}}: Compared to its predecessor ''Centricide''’s MythArc, ''The Mental Illnesses'' takes a more sitcom approach to storytelling. Schizophrenia outright calls the series a sitcom premise in “Laugh Track.”

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Centricide characters are personifications of political ideologies. Other political ideologies, including made-up ones like communo-capitalism/capcom[[note]]a compromise between communism and capitalism where they occasionally EatTheRich[[/note]] show up in other videos.
