Crazy!Tony time.

Since I've been back-tracking in Marvel Iron Man/Avengers comics, I've come to a conclusion: Tony is completely fucking crazy!

Also, since I have a thing for the crazies, I'm writing a fic, and I would like your opinion.

To me it appears Tony has some kind of dissociative order.  For the purpose of the fic, I'm using a combination of MDD/Schizo/PTSD/Depression. Yes, I've very mean to Tony.

My questiion to you is, if Tony had other personalities, who do you think they would be?  What would they be like?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Camel.

I agree with you. But I do see Tony as having manic symptoms sometimes. If anything he'd be a Type II Bipolar. Also, he could develop a type of dissociative disorder what with his leanings towards escapism. As far as a personality disorder, his symptoms would have been more noticeable to others over the years and would have caused more impediments to functionality this late in his life. (I know it's comics, but Tony seems to be pretty much in his perpetual 30's).

True about the personality traits. Also, love your icon.

I myself have Bipolar I type disorder as well as a borderline personality disorder. Also, very social phobic, I never really leave my house unless I have to for work / school. I'm studying to be a forensic psychologist.

Yes. But usually it's gradual, takes years. And the person who has the disorder never thinks there is anything wrong with how they're behaving / thinking. Either they are sent in for treatment on the recommendations of other people, or they came in for something different (like to get medicine because they can't sleep at night) and then the doctor or whoever notices their odd behavior.
