Needs Help: Hollywood Personality Disorders

• Characters.Azumanga Daioh
  • Hollywood Personality Disorders: She seems to have strong schizotypal traits, though likely falls short of and is a bit too young to have a personality disorder. She exhibits signs of unusual experiences (unusual thoughts and unusual perceptions), cognitive disorganization (tendency for thoughts to become derailed and to derail conversations), and impulsive nonconformity (somewhat poor impulse control and unstable mood). (All 3 traits are well-exemplified here.) The only trait she doesn't seem to really exhibit is introverted anhedonia (deficit of pleasure response in physical and social stimulation), and contrary to the stereotype of schizotypals she is actually quite extroverted (and extroversion doesn't exempt you from schizotypy). As noted in an article on schizophrenic autism (separate from the autism spectrum), which is also exhibited by people with high levels of schizotypal traits, the activity of people with such strong schizotypal traits tends to show itself through "friction with the situational context." I would say that Osaka produces quite a bit of "friction." Here's the article: [1] The article gives another example of that kind of friction: "A famous vignette of a schizoid father, who buys, as a Christmas present for his dying daughter, a coffin, illustrates this odd friction." Compare this to the friction Osaka produces. Derailment is related to knight's move thinking (also called lateral thinking), which is the kind of thinking that might enable Osaka to be so good at certain kinds of riddles (as seen in the Genius Ditz entry).

This is a really lengthy paragraph where someone diagnoses Osaka as schizotypical. From what I've heard, Osaka's personality is officially a joke that inverts stereotypes of the Osaka region.

• Characters.Family Guy
  • Hollywood Personality Disorders: Meg's frail disposition and emotional instabilities, stemming from an abusive and neglectful family and leading to self-harm, over-attachment to anyone who may be polite to her, an inability to handle rejection, and a surprising amount of sexual promiscuity (though, not to the extent of her mother) are among the more notable (or stereotypical) symptoms of Borderline personality disorder.

Meg is probably unintentional as well. It's just they flanderized her Butt-Monkey role more and more, giving her more symptoms of an Ambiguous Disorder.

• Characters.Naruto Team Eight Members
  • Hollywood Personality Disorders: Avoidant Personality Disorder. She's very shy and rather socially awkward.

The example is too basic. Those traits could apply to various things outside of AVPD.

• Characters.To Kill A Mockingbird:
  • Hollywood Personality Disorders: Schizoid Personality Disorder in his case.

No context.

• Disney.Frozen:
• Hollywood Personality Disorders:

  • Elsa displays enough traits to fit the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder: she is emotionally unstable, has a hot temper, and suffers chronic feelings of emptiness and impulsiveness. Her upbringing is also for the most part typical of those with the disorder, with the emotional invalidation she experienced ("Conceal it, don't feel it.") being one of the key driving forces of the plot.
  • Or autism... (which is not a personality disorder but a difference in neurological wiring, but still)... She was just born differently (how autistic individuals usually feel about themselves) and has terrible difficulty functioning socially and maintaining relationships.
  • Both sisters were so socially isolated that having some sort of issue that is at least bordering on a personality disorder is quite realistic. The fact that they had fairly normal, happy childhoods until then, plus having loving parents, saved them both from becoming sociopaths; Hans not having that love or happier beginning also fits.

As mentioned in the example, autism is not a personality disorder. Elsa has been confirmed to have depression and anxiety, but no personality disorders.
