Pokémon with mental illnesses

If Pokémon were real, wouldn't there be a case for mental illness as well?

*Disclaimer this is in way to meant to be offense, I too suffer from a illness called Schizoaffettive; I was just curious.

So which Pokémon do believe ALREADY sufferer from a mental disability?

To start off... I believe Snorlax suffers from Major Depressive Disorder
who the hell sleeps THAT much?

I think Bidoof suffers from cerebral palsey.

I think Snorlax suffers more from narcolepsy than depression. XD

Don't forget Psyduck and its severe headaches...don't know if that counts as a mental illness though... :/

Don't you mean narcolepsy?

Leprosy is the horrible disease that can make your legs fall off.

Meowth and Murkrow are definitely kleptomaniacs.

Misdreavus seems to have a touch of trichotillomania.

Xatu is a schizophrenic.

Mewtwo has Asperger's.

The "standing all day staring into space" aspect. I get the feeling Xatu loses track of time when just spacing out like that. It's so introverted it's lost touch with the physical world, hence schizophrenia.

Oh I do see that now! Social isolation, is certainly a key symptom of that disorder; it could be some type of dissociation though :P
