Am I the only person who things that the following characters are actually crazy

Jack - post-trumatic stress disorder

Thane - clinical depression

Liara - asperger syndrome

Mordin - ADHD

Mointh - antisocial perosnality disorder (sociopathy)

Kelly Chambers - hypersexuality (Fully how she's the psychologist on the Normandy)

We can't really include aliens since we don't know what their mental state would normally be ... They are, after all, not human. What we deem "illness" could be "healthy" in their species.

[DoNotIngest]

Won't argue with Thane or, I suppose, Morinth, but Mordin's supposed to be like that (50 years is a good life span), and at her age, well... Have you ever seen the strippers at the bars go on break? Sure, might be the best Commando training there is, but it seems they like to be a little *focused* at that point in their life.

Yes.

I'm pretty sure you can't come up with one piece of evidence, that points to Kelly's "hypersexuality"-

Well, she tells you flat out that she's interested in... What is it, every alien on the ship, even that bad old assassin that scares her so much?

...this word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

All I remember her saying was that personalities matter to her, not genders or races. That doesn't make her addicted to sex.

Inconceivable!

I don't think I'd call them 'crazy' for it, really. Having something similar to real human conditions, sure, but not insane.

Edit: Though, I wouldn't say Mordin has ADHD by any stretch of the imagination. Nor do I think Kelly is hypersexual. And I'm not sure you meant for your thread to be taken seriously anyway.

I think it's probably a mistake to apply human psychology or disorders to aliens.

Mordin doesn't have ADHD, for example. He's a salarian, and by definition that includes huge intelligence, a high metabolism and a very fast work rate.

Ditto for Liara. We have no idea if a reclusive maidan archetype is common to the asari. They can't all be commandos or work in bars for three hundred years.

[Seboist]

I don't know about the squadmates but I like to imagine my Shepard having a few screws loose from her past experiences on Mindoir and Torfan. That's a large part of why she does a lot of the renegadish behavior she ends up doing and why I have Kaidan there to help her maintain emotional stability.

[Grissium]

Most people don't think your crazy if your also high functioning.... of that list Jack is maybe the only person that doesn't fit that bill. And don't pick on my blue alien squid head, shes not crazy shes adorkable!

[jamesp81]

Almost everyone on the SR2 is more than a little bit broken in some way, but flat out crazy? Maybe Jack.

[BatmanPWNS]

I believe everyone in ME is crazy in some way.

[S.A.K]

Not just everyone in ME, every person on earth is crazy in some way.

[Dileos]

Jack is a complete psychopath.

But the others, I'm not sure. Like someone mentioned above, aliens can't really be diagnosed with mental issues because we have no knowledge of their normal mental state. But Mordin definitely needs some Ritalin.

[CheeseEnchilada]

Jack and Thane have some issues, but once you tear down the environmental barriers that are holding them back (their loyalty missions, essentially) they seem to get better to an extent. Romances push that even further. Mordin may seem 'off' by even salarian standards, but I'd chalk that up to just a tic. You can't be the most brilliant salarian scientist and be 'normal', after all. And yes, Morinth is a sociopath.

Really, being 'mentally ill' is difficult to define. Do some of these characters need some therapy? Yes, and Shepard provides. Does this make them 'mentally ill'? I wouldn't say so, but since the term is used so loosely, YMMV.

[Dangerfoot]

They all shoot people in the face a lot. People who shoot people in the face a lot can often have issues.

[Sesshomaru47]

Mordin doesn't have ADHD, he can remain focused on a task. He's just a little bit hyperactive. Thane was fine too until Shepard came along and started messing things up for him.
