If each of them had a disability/mental illness...

[CandyCorn 428]

What would it be and why? I'm just really curious on what you guys think they might have and such... that is, if those things existed in their world. Also, they don't have to be just the Mane 6... but they can also be background ponies too.

I know for a fact that Pinkie would have ADHD while Fluttershy would have social anxiety. Given that Pinkie is usually very hyperactive and lacks a bit of an attention span. While, Fluttershy struggles with socializing.

[RDDash 19,212]

I am going with the most obvious ones first, or at least that's how they started as.

Rainbow Dash: ADHD/depression.

Twilight Sparkle: OCD.

Applejack: Workaholic Syndrome

Pinkie Pie: Bipolar Syndrome

Fluttershy Social Anxiety Disorder

Rarity: possible HPD, or Histrionic Personality Disorder

 

Edited August 6, 2018 by R.D.Dash

[Lucartini 104]

Twilight: Autism

Rainbow Dash: secretly also Autism

Pinkie Pie: Extreme Goodness Disorder

Rarity: Normie

Fluttershy: Avoidant Personality Disorder

Applejack: America

[CandyCorn 428]

Wait, workaholic syndrome is a thing? O___o Anyway, I actually feel like Rarity could have some severe anxiety disorder. From what I've seen of her so far (up to season five), she tends to freak out easier than all of the other ponies do. She is easily paranoid as well, and it's something I can often relate to with her. I also don't think Dashie could have autism. She seems more social than most autistic people are. Then again, there's also the idea that most people who have it try hard to follow the norms of society and what not. I still don't see her being autistic. Twilight, maybe. She does tend to have pretty narrow interests. Plus, when we first meet her... she seems quite socially-awkward as well as asocial. 

[Divine plywood 1,248]

 Bulimia?  Well, maybe not

[TBD 17,259]

• Twilight: Lust (for knowledge)
• Rainbow Dash: Pride
• Pinkie pie: Gluttony 
• Rarity: Envy
• AppleJack: Greed
• Fluttershy: Wrath

 

[Ganondox 899]

I don't think Pinkie Pie actually has ADHD, in fact, her characterization in Too Many Pinkie Pies makes that EXTREMELY unlikely as the test in that episode was essentially a variation on an ADHD test. If anything, it's probably actually bipolar. Really mania, but it's included under bipolar. 

Rainbow, meanwhile, does have ADHD. That's pretty much what Testing 1,2,3 was about. 

Twilight Sparkle might have OCPD. NOT OCD, it's actually closer to autism than it is to OCD. 

Fluttershy obviously has social anxiety, though it's not clear if it's enough to constitute a disorder, and she very may have other disorders as well, like the previously mentioned avoidant personality disorder. My headcanon is that she's on the autism spectrum as an atypical presentation, but it's not as well founded as most the claims I've made here. 

Rarity can be a bit histrionic, but I doubt she has any disorders. Applejack is the straightest mare imaginable. 

Starlight Glimmer appears to be a borderline sociopath, but she does NOT have anti-personality disorder, she doesn't quite meet some essential criteria. She also has performance anxiety, but that's not exactly a disorder either. 

Maud Pie is blatantly autistic. Mud Briar is probably autistic as well, but we haven't seen as much of him as we've seen Maud. 

Lighting Dust is absolutely a sociopath, and unlike Starlight Glimmer she might meet the criteria for anti-social personality disorder as well. Discord is a psychopath, which is slightly different from a sociopath, not as thrill seeking, but even less empathetic. 

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Even in Equestria there is probably a ton of ponies with depression or anxiety, but we don't know it. 

[Pr0m4NV14 839]

I think Spike suffers from a sort of Stalkhome Syndrome.

[Wonderbolt Slipstream 264]

If I may be broad, technically they all have problems...

Just sayin...

[Cirrus. 1,090]

Starlight and her issues stood out immediately to me.

In college I've spent a few years working on a major in Criminal Justice. The aspect of what makes criminals "tick", (what could be wrong with them and other factors/events that cause criminal behavior) was something I've always found interesting.

Based on what I learned from those classes, Starlight seems to maybe have some degree of Borderline Personality Disorder. She also has shown some Sociopathic tendencies.

 

Borderline Personality Disorder-

• "Symptoms can be triggered by seemingly ordinary events.People with borderline personality disorder may become angry and distressed over minor separations from people to whom they feel close" (nih.gov)
• Inappropriate, intense anger or problems controlling anger
• Difficulty trusting- (aka brainwashing room)
• "Their opinions of other people can also change quickly. An individual who is seen as a friend one day may be considered an enemy or traitor the next." (nih.gov)
• People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others, alternating between high positive regard for people and great disappointment in them.
• marked sensitivity to criticism...

 

Sociopathic Tendencies-

• weaker conscience
• weaker empathy
• self serving/manipulative.
• blame people and/or makes excuses for behavior (i.e cutie marks ARE THE DEVIL)

 

 

I also like how after she is "reformed,"  issues still pop up from time to time:

• Thinking mind control spells on friends is acceptable
• Pent-up "Trixie anger" cloud
• Switching Celestia and Luna's cutie marks (WHILE THEY ARE ALREADY BECOMING ENRAGED on top of it)...(The map was good to pick her though to make her think about empathy more)

• Blasting Discord into "ghost only mode"
• Not thinking about how some of her actions will affect Trixie when on Their Little Road Trip

All in all I think she's a very interesting character to have on the show and has turned out to be one of my favorite characters in the series.

Applejack: Workaholic Syndrome

 1, - You spend your free time thinking about work.
If you struggle to take time off without your mind drifting back to work, that’s a troubling sign you might be addicted to work.

2 - You’re constantly working overtime.
Do you pull in more late-night shifts than anyone else in the office? Working consistently late might be a sign you have an issue with overworking yourself.

3- You’ve been asked by superiors to reduce the number of hours you’re working.
If your managers have tried to intervene in the number of hours you put into your work day, and you’re still unable to do so, it’s likely you have an issue.

4- You put off spending time with loved ones to spend time in the office.
Is it difficult to spend time with loved ones without thinking back to what’s happening in the office? This is a common symptom in most workaholics.

5- You don’t enjoy or prioritize leisure activities, favoring work instead
The same applies for your hobbies or favorite leisure activities - if they’ve stopped bringing you joy because of your fixation with work, it’s time to seek guidance.

Pinkie Pie: Bipolar Syndrome

• Abnormally upbeat, jumpy or wired
• Increased activity, energy or agitation
• Exaggerated sense of well-being and self-confidence (euphoria)
• Decreased need for sleep
• Unusual talkativeness
• Racing thoughts
• Distractibility
• Poor decision-making — for example, going on buying sprees, taking sexual risks or making foolish investments

Fluttershy Social Anxiety Disorder

• Fear of situations that you may be judged
• Worrying that you will embarrass and humiliate yourself
• Crippling fear of interacting with strangers
• Avoiding and event or interaction where one could be the center of attention
• Looking to find flaws in ones interactions after a social interaction
• Fear of offending people
• Anticipating the worst possible outcomes because of ones interactions with people
• Fear of embarrassing physical symptoms like sweating, shaky voice or limbs, trembling or blushing,
• Avoiding activities or people because of fear of anticipated embarrassment
• Constantly being critical of and judging oneself

 

Rarity: possible HPD, or Histrionic Personality Disorder

 

Exhibitionism

Showing off can be fun at times. It can be entertaining and funny to generally help others have a good time. There is also a need to do so within reason and overdoing it can create some negative opinions. For some people, though, the desire to be the center of attention makes them prone to exhibitionism as much as possible.

People with histrionic personality disorder are likely to always be the one that’s the center of attention. The way they dress, act and speak will all be aimed at helping them to show off and catch the attention of everybody around them. If somebody else is the center of attention, then the person with histrionic personality disorder will do what they can to take over the limelight. 

Obsession With Physical Appearance

We generally do what we can to look reasonably smart. Even when dressing casually we will still take some pride in our appearance, and we are likely to put in even more effort when going out in public. There is usually nothing wrong at all in taking some pride in our appearance, but it is possible to take it to extremes.

 

People with histrionic personality disorder are likely to have an obsession with their appearance. Their clothes need to be perfect and their hair and makeup need to be spot on. They can spend hours getting themselves ready and can feel very uncomfortable if they think they don’t look perfect.

 

Blaming Others
Life can be a series of challenges, and things don’t always go as planned. There can also be a lot of learning experiences, particularly opportunities to learn from our mistakes. To learn from a mistake, though, you first need to accept it, and this is harder for some people than others.

For a person with histrionic personality disorder, accepting they made a mistake can be very difficult indeed. Instead of accepting the blame themselves, they will instead blame other people, even for their own failings. Not only does it mean they are unlikely to learn from their mistakes, it can also cause a great deal of tension with others around them.

 

 Easily Influenced

We are all influenced by other people to some degree. Peer pressure influences much of our lives from how we dress to what we eat. We are also likely to be influenced by friends on nights out and the activities we get involved in. Despite this, most of us are able to say ‘no’ when we think certain ideas are potentially harmful in some way.

 

For people with histrionic personality disorder, however, it is much harder to say ‘no’. It can be very easy to influence them into doing things they would not normally do, even if it is potentially damaging to them or others. This is a trait that can potentially lead to them being taken advantage of by others with nefarious intentions.

 Over Dramatic

We can all get emotional from time to time. It is all but impossible to keep clear of things that upset us, and emotions are a very natural response. Usually, though, our emotions are proportionate and appropriate to the situation at hand. Some people, however, can act with a disproportionate degree of emotion even over the smallest of things.

 

People with histrionic personality disorder are likely to become very emotional. Whenever an issue does arise, they can act in a theatrical manner, over-exaggerating the problem significantly. Their mood can be very easy to shift, and it can be quite apparent to others that their actions are all just an act. 

Overtly Sexual

Sex is one of the most natural activities that anybody can take part in. Desiring and seeking sex is also very natural and harmless. Certain codes should be adhered to, and this can include flirting, which makes others aware of your interest. If it is not done within reason, though, much harm can be done socially and in other ways.

The need to be desired can be so strong for people with histrionic personality disorder that they can act in very provocative ways. Their behaviour can be inappropriate and offensive to others making them unwelcome in certain venues and can also lead to disagreements with other people.

 

For patients with histrionic personality disorder, it is vital to be the center of attention at all cost. They can use different methods to do it, such as seduction and manipulation.

Some specialists on this topic have claimed that Marilyn Monroe was the perfect example of a patient with this disorder. Based on her seductive nature, spotlight-seeking behavior and her short but intense relationships, she fits perfectly in the diagnostic criteria for this disorder. Even though we find lots of traits in Marilyn Monroe’s personality to qualify her as an example, it is important to state that there is no way to make this particular diagnosis, it is only used as an example.

Exaggerating Relationships

At any one point, we are likely to have numerous friends and acquaintances. Some of these will be closer than others, ranging from people you just happen to work with to those with whom you are in an intimate relationship. Usually both parties will understand the nature of their relationship with each other, but not always.

 

For people with histrionic personality disorder, it can be easy to exaggerate the level of intimacy in their relationships with each other. It can be easy for them to believe that certain relationships run deeper than they actually do, potentially reading intimacy into even passing acquaintances. It has the potential for some very difficult misunderstandings that can be damaging to all involved.

Constantly Seeking Reassurance

We will often have to make decisions in life or perform actions that may be judged by other people. Most of the time, we are confident enough in what we are doing to not need reassurance from other people. There are some times, though, when we may seek others’ opinions.

 

One symptom of histrionic personality disease is the constant need for reassurances from others. They will constantly want to be told that they did OK or positive feedback regarding their actions and appearance. It might be that they need constant reassurance of the same thing, regardless of how often they have been reassured already.

Speaking as someone who memorized every disorder in DSM-IV for class and knows how to look up disorders that aren't in it, I can confirm there is no such thing as "workaholic syndrome". You appear to have taken your criteria off of a blog post on Puffy.com .

Alright, I'm looking more into it under the name "work addition", and it appears to be something that has been identified as an issue for many people, but it hasn't been made into an official disorder yet as it's still in early stages of research. It's not something that someone is going to get diagnosed with, or if they are it's going to just be as a non-specified addiction. 

[Splashee 28,571]

I don't think they need the worst disorders just because they are the Mane 6.

They are already unique and I don't see the need to add disorders to them unless it can help people to understand the disorders better and give us good story telling (and drama).
