Ngl, at the start of mlp, I think fluttershy had some SERIOUS social anxiety, like, she could barely get her name out in front of twilight and looking after and talking to animals is probably her coping mechanism.

[@jolynnmarie1987]

And she dealt with serious bullying as a child, as shown in the backstory of how she discovered her cutie mark, which would explain why she developed a social disorder

[@User-1939t9]

[@seraphywang4638]

Esha the LoneWolk That still technically isn’t a disorder because she is still feeding herself, she accidentally banged up her hearing, and lack of sleep is the cause of her eye sight(I’ve had enough of that in middle school). She has a extremely important job tot do that she has both responsibility and stubbornness to do. She has to get all them apples by the season but she also takes things like help as a challenge. That, believe it or not, is stubbornness.

Pinkie Pie actually really fits the description of someone with BPD. And as someone with BPD ( borderline personality disorder ) I can say that I see myself a lot in Pinkie Pie. - Fear of abandonment - Unstable yet intense relationships - Unclear or unstable self-image - Impulsive, self-destructive behaviors - Extreme emotional swings - Psychotic experiences under stress Pinkie definitely shows a few of these symptoms. Bipolar mood swings usually happen over a period of months when people with BPD can feel suicidal one hour, but super energized the next. Bipolar just doesn't really fit Pinkie. BPD would also explain her psychotic episode during Party Of One. The stress of everyone abandoning her caused that reaction and the instability of her emotions helped her recover so easily.

[@pinkthaaang8832]

Anjanka Jeff-Apologist I agree with this. As someone who suffers from BPD myself. I think your right

[@VivyTheHuntress]

My father has BPD and honestly thinking about it and what I’ve seen from him. I think you are 100% correct in saying that Pinkie has it.

[@wadanohara9063]

AGREED I ALSO HAVE BPD!!!

[@H0SANNA]

I had an ex gf who seemingly suffered from BPD. She literally met all the criteria. All that chick did was complain about past friends that left her and always reminded me of how much she missed them. She utterly despised being overweight and cuts herself. She’d also get these intense mood swings at the drop of a hat. She could basically bawl her eyes out on command! This was ultimately the reason why I broke up with her. I couldn’t tolerate her ups and downs any longer, and this is coming from a person diagnosed with deep depression. Sounds like she’s got BPD, right? It turns out my ex faked the mood swings for attention and sympathy. She admitted about having munchausen syndrome. What makes it more confusing is the fact she wasn’t even trying to emulate BPD at all, her intention was to pretend being bipolar. She went to the doctor and got diagnosed with depression and anxiety, out of all things. Which is complete bullshit because my ex is an outgoing extrovert and loves socializing. Either that doctor is horrible at their job or my ex didn’t tell them she had munchausen syndrome...

AJ is still grieving over her parents' death, so she's does so much farm work, because she wants to make her dead parents proud. Dashie is arrogant because she's insecure and she stood up for Fluttershy because Dashie had bully problems, too. Calling her Rainbow Crash makes her feel like a doormat, so she's no different from Fluttershy. Pinkie is a stepford smiler. She pretends to be happy when in reality, Pinkie's still depressed. Growing up on a rock farm with a equally depressed family and didn't had much of a childhood. Twilight always have ocd due to fearing failure and poor social skills. She rather be alone but still hang with a few friends once in a while. Books make Twilight happy; meaning less socializing, more learning. Fluttershy led a sheltered life with parents who are also shy. So, she spends most of her life being scared of almost everything and everyone. Fluttershy prefers animals than other ponies. Some people are not good with others in real life. Rarity is somewhat like Twilight. She's always so focused on her work and appearance, it can lead to too much stress and hardly spends time with her sister, Sweetie Belle.

[@katelynbodiford5680]

Studionsey ! Uh let me fix that I meant an episode where Pinkie reveals to her friends That she's not truly happy but she's only pretending to be happy because she may be happy on the outside but on the inside she's depressed and lying to herself and trying to hide her true self. And also we really deserve an episode like that in Season 8. Hey Pinkie Pie you can't keep living a lie reveal your true inner self to your friends for once because you can't keep pretending to be happy all the time. That would be the greatest lesson for Pinkie Pie to learn in Season 8.

[@katelynbodiford5680]

Studionsey ! Also I wish the writers would just go ahead and finally reveal how Applejack Apple Bloom and Big Mac's parents really died come on you writers stop being cowards and just do it reveal to us how Bright Mac and Pear Butter truly died it's not that hard you can't keep trying to keep it secret forever Bright Mac and Pear Butter's deaths need to be revealed right now because we're all sick of vague answers.

[@shadowunikat849]

Like he says, there isn't that much evidence of it. Some episodes, you can see symptoms, but there's a lot of episodes that mainly show her narcissist personality disorder. ADHD can't just be turned off, so the episodes where you don't see it are a way to show she doesn't have it. Also, with ADHD comes a whole slew of other things, like insomnia, picky eating, sensitivity to sounds smells and tastes, anxiety, and even depression. I guess when pinkie pie keeps bringing her pies in that one episode and she secretly throws them away that it shows a spark of ADHD, but again, it's just one episode. I will say, if you connect flying to driving, there is absolutely no way she has ADHD, driving with ADHD is a car wreck waiting to happen. It's extremely difficult to pay attention to yourself and others and the car when your brain constantly switches topics at the drop of a hat. Rainbow dash could not fly and pay attention to her surroundings that well with ADHD.

[@mia-jc3xp]

When I first started watching MLP:FiM, I used to think Twilight Sparkle had asperger syndrome, but the more I watched and got to know the characters, I've come to the conclusion that I think Rainbow Dash actually has it. I have asperger and as a female aspie, there are so many things about Dash that I recognise. AS manifests quite differently in women than in men, you know. I would argue that Rainbow is the most socially awkward out of all the Mane Six. She doesn't know when to choose politeness over sincerity, when it's okay to be very confident or when she should be more humble, and she doesn't always understand non-verbal interaction. There are so many instances where other ponies "scold" her by going "Rainbow Dash!" and giving her unapproving looks or throwing something to stop her from saying something they perceive as rude but she considers honest. She obsesses over quite narrow fields of interest, particularly the Wonderbolts and Daring Do, and can talk about both forever. But concentrating on something other than her interests has proven difficult for her. I feel like being airborne is her way of stimming. While many people with AS might flap their hands, she flaps her wings. More often than not, Rainbow will be flying when the others are standing, even when other pegasus ponies are stood on the ground. We know from the show that she can concentrate on what's going on when she's flying and it might also serve as a way to remove herself a little from the situation and get a better overview, like when someone with AS prefers to stand off to the side in a social situation. She has issues with unexpected change, shown very obviously when she realises Tank has to hibernate and her plans for winter are cancelled, or when the next Daring Do book was delayed. Both times she had somewhat of a meltdown. She doesn't know how to express her emotions very well and keeps them bottled up a lot. But when she does let them out, they're intense and, again, might even be full meltdowns. Really, there is so much more and so many more symptoms that she exhibits. Some women with AS show a dislike for what's fashionable and feminine, that's Dash to a T. People with AS are known to be very loyal (hello element of Harmony). Preferring adventurous social interaction (sports, treasure hunts etc.) rather than more "female", talk-focused socialising. Even her frequent napping could be a symptom as constantly deciphering while socialising is truly exhausting (I nap a lot). If you google "asperger syndrome in girls", you'll find a lot of interesting stuff that describes Rainbow Dash very accurately and you'll see why I think she shares my disorder. Maybe that's why she's my favourite. :) Essay over!

[@hallelujahbrony3263]

mia Thank you for sharing how ASD affects your life. The ponies sure are relatable. That is one of the great things about the characters of the show. Because of this we often project aspects of ourselves on others. I think the pony with the closest resemblance to ASD is Maud Pie. This might be a good topic of a future video

[@rosediamond4132]

I'm also a female aspie and I see more of myself in Twilight than in Dash. Such as her OCD tendencies, love of lists and routines, and development of special interests such as books, magic, princess Celestia, and her friends.

Speaking as someone who has social anxiety disorder, Fluttershy DEFINITELY has social anxiety disorder. Honestly, that's why she's my favorite character. I relate to her like crazy.

[@kiwimk7]

THIS. i also struggle with severe social anxiety and it annoys me so much when people say that fluttershy constantly learns the same lesson. what they do not understand is just how difficult it is and saying stuff like "you have to get over it at some point" like its just an old fear is really belittling. i always wondered why i was so attached to fluttershy so hearing whats said in this video made it all clear

@Gabriel 2020 i think they're talking about "applebuck season", where she literally stopped sleeping. but imo, i don't think she has self-defeating pd. in that episode she didn't let herself rest for a second but because she didn't want to accept help because she believed that she could do all the work alone. i would say that more than anything she has serious problems with stubbornness

ADHD has whole cloud of nearby disorders and NPD is somewhere within it. Also, it may be some kind of escaping her own adhd reality, when she acts like that. She needs external stimuli and admiration to get things done.. And i'm sure that if she finds time and calmness for her friends, she can be quite empathetic towards them.

Applejack might have depression. She had the loss of her 2 parents. And allow me address: “The biggest smiles have the darkest secrets” “The prettiest eyes have shed the most tears” “The kindest hearts have felt the most pain.” So it’s a possibility

[@silenceexe9439]

In my opinion, you got this correct. Here's my thoughts. Applejack does indeed have a mental disorder: Attachment Separation Disorder. Now that, I can relate to, having had the same thing, which is usually caused by traumatic separation from family members or those considered close to you - AJs parents dying. As for Pinkie, you are entirely correct, albeit forgetting to mention that the 'happy Pinkie' is actually a mask put on by her, so as to hide her depression, a common tactic for those with depression. You know, when you ask them if they feel okay, some will just try to end the conversation with 'I'm fine'? Twilight is definitely OCD, no complaints there, and also has Anxiety Disorder, at least in my opinion. Funnily enough, so does Fluttershy. I have no arguments for Fluttershy at all. You got Rarity perfectly, though I forget if you mentioned that being so manipulative, she could very well be a sociopath. RD is the purest form of ADHD I have ever seen. For her, always move, move, move. What do y'all think?

[@rosediamond4132]

I think Twilights is deeper than anxiety stemmed OCD, she has a lot of traits of high functioning autism. I have it as well and I notice a lot of similar traits

[@Dreamheart101]

Hyperactivity, despite being apart of the name, is actually a rather small part of ADHD. Anyone got any examples of where Rainbow Dash couldn't see reason once upset? How bad are her tantrums, and how frequent? Do her parents exhibit any of this? Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, I just happen to have ADHD, have been taught a lot about it, and know multiple people with it.

[@differentbreed9066]

[@tidepodpadthai2633]

I think Fluttershy might have mild PTSD as being bullied as a child made her afraid to do things as an adult, and even gets flashbacks to being teased when she was young.

[@johnkrappweis7367]

About AppleJack--You say that stubbornness is not a mental disorder but it can be a side effect of guilt. When her parents "disappeared", she essentially abandoned the family to go to Manehatten. When she returned, she threw herself into farm work with a wild intensity to compensate for what she did. Her insistence on bucking all the apple trees herself seems to me to be a form of maintaining a false self-image. AppleJack is a tough, independent farm pony. Showing weakness is NOT allowed. This could also be a factor in her constant athletic competitions with Rainbow Dash.

[@AbysmalRandomn3ss]

john krappweis Oh wow, I was going to comment something like this but you basically summed it all up. Everyone sees Applejack as the most normal but she has plenty of things wrong with her as well she just usually doesn't show them in public

I know it isn't real to them but it's real to me and if it's getting to the point where I am hallucinating and then passing out because of the hallucinations, I need to be calmed down, don't just tell me it's not real and walk the other way.

From my perspective: 1.Twilight A severe case of OCD, with Anxiety Disorder 2 .Fluttershy has Anxiety and I would I argue she has Avoidant Disorder. Could possibly develop a bipolar disorder. 3. Pinkie Pie, easily ADHD with depression(imagine if she lost all her friends, and if this were the case, she would be so done.)She could potentially have a schizophrenic disorder too(Let me remind you, S1 e25). 4. Rainbow Dash - Obviously, NPD. I don't know who else would have it. Dash is arrogant and thinks she's above else. 5. Applejack - If there's a disorder about a hardcore stubborness, that'd be her disorder. Workaholic to the bone. 6. Rarity - This one is a strange case because Idk how people are failing to see that Rarity has an OCD. At least slightly. Organisation, perfection, attention to detail, like to being clean would all lead to some kind of an OCD. No matter if development or not,she still has it in herself because you can turn a disorder down a bit, but you can't leave it away.. And of course, she's a drama queen, attention-seeker too!

more like hypomania, which is a rather mild form of mania which doesn't cause psychosis except under certain conditions. She seems hypomanic but when depression hits her even when there is an external cause, it hits hard. Possibly bipolar where she is usually hypomanic, but when under certain stress, she is at risk of triggering a depressive episode. not everyone with bipolar has randomly changing moods, they sometimes change when situations change. such cases do tend to be mild.

Which Rainbow has like uncomfortable being touched by strangers, their moods change from good to bad and visa versa and they always love to do their research. In Pinkie Pie's case in the table scene in " Party of One " that was meant to be based on a 20 minute sketch show that is watched in Germany every New Year's Eve called " Dinner for One " where an old lady celebrates New Year the same as she always did when they were alive.

Great video! Rainbow DEFINITELY has ADHD, I was diagnosed with it in 4th grade and it isn’t just Testing, Testing 123 that displays the attributes of someone with the disorder. She tends to fall asleep when bored as she stated she did in certain classes when she was becoming a Bolt. In the Season 6 episode “Top Bolt” when Twilight was teaching some newbies she had to blast an air horn to wake her up since she’d fallen asleep during her lesson. This is something that I’ve experienced throughout my entire school career, even in classes I love and was thoroughly interested in like Science classes I’d often fight to keep my eyes open and struggle to keep my attention held, usually passing out eventually and waking up after everyone left class. If you notice she’s almost always flying, even when it’s completely unnecessary and that could easily be viewed as an expression of the restlessness that comes with ADHD similar to the knee bouncing, rocking of stationary chairs and sort of leg wagging that myself and others do while sitting. This restlessness is also displayed in Season one’s episode “Swarm Of The Century” when Rarity has her try a dress on and she’s trotting in place...Rarity tells her to stand still and she says “I can’t! I need to fly, this is way too boring for me!” I personally think the aspects that can be viewed as narcissistic are more a combination of her upbringing and her ADHD. Having parents that support and praise you as strongly as hers would produce the kind of confidence she has in herself, even though she recognizes her own flaws and how her parents praise her more than her achievements warrant, she seems to overcome her doubt by telling herself (and others for that matter) that she can do whatever she sets out to, similarly to how her parents would probably encourage her when she doubted herself. In Season 7’s “Fame and Misfortune” she even sings about her overconfident ego giving her the courage to fail. Representing the element of loyalty, her lack of regard for others only appears when she becomes completely obsessed with an idea which is another common trait of ADHD...though my personality combines the flaws of Rainbow, Twilight and Fluttershy and my overthinking, caring nature never lets me forget how any of my actions might affect another person, I know what it’s like to become so obsessed with something that you become absorbed by it and forget pretty much everything else in the process.

OCD can also be rooted in Autism Spectrum Disorders like Asperger's. I see a lot of my own personal traits in Twilight, especially since I got my ASD diagnosis

I suffer from social anxiety and depression, and Fluttershy, Twilight and Applejack have become extremely comfortable characters for me to relate to.

What

[@Kurtoric]

Well this just showed up in my recommended... Weird but I know enough to spot a thing or two others seem less sure of. Applejack does have a disorder but I am seeing multiple ideas and a few who come close but I think I can do one better. PTSD is a good guess and I would say you are not far off but we can be a bit more specific. The Atlas complex, a disorder commonly developed in childhood when a sudden burden of responsibility is put on them. Common traits include taking on parental roles and are frequently burdened with a fear of failure in the eyes of others, sound familiar? AppleJack takes a big burden of the Farm onto herself even when she has help from family or friends, her fear of failure time and time again has led her to push herself to her breaking point on more then one occasion. good examples of that fear of failure were her efforts to prove she could harvest the farms apples by herself and refusing to admit she couldn't do it alone, the time she abandoned her ideals after she failed to get the blue ribbons at the rodeo(more on that in a moment) and her rivalry with rainbow dash during fall weather friends. Apple Jack holds certain things close to heart, things she values greatly, integrity, honesty, hard work and family. In the episode The Last Round up she was burdened with the task of getting prize money to fix city hall. She did take this burden on her self but when she failed she abandoned 3 of her most important ideals simply to avoid returning a failure, she left her family behind, her responsibilities, and even lied/withheld the truth to avoid being seen failing. The burden of letting the whole of ponyville down was enough to have her abandon parts of her identity. I'm no expert here but I think this fits well, the burdens she was left with after the loss of her parents did a number on her. While she does not show it outwardly much, that is just her trying to prove herself capable of handling the responsibility and upholding the ideals she believes others hold her to. She wants to be the pony everyone looks up to and turns to in times of need. Such a burden to carry the world on ones shoulders.

Firstly, she is very passionate about books and studying- this could be viewed as what's known as a special interest. She tends to infodump about books and things she studies, and she is known to be happy sharing books and study tips with others. She also took the time to find the best study method for Rainbow, even if it seemed impossible. She also forms attachment to specific objects and tends to panic when things don't go as expected or planned. She has a history of beating herself up over mistakes she makes and tends to worry about possibilities of various things happening... *a lot.* Twilight is very particular about her space being the way she layed it out, in this case being neat and orderly. Autism also often presents itself along with some other mental conditions or disorders, such as anxiety.

she has ocd (why am i responding a year later? because i can)

[@blrryanii_]

​@@CreativelyUninspired596 pretty sure OCD and Autism can go hand in hand because of comorbidy

I think Apple Jack might have bipolar disorder because in the show, she does display the quality of being bipolar 😅

I think Apple Jack has depression or something, so she tries to hide it by being so out going and determined. I don’t know tho because we haven’t really seen her be super sad, but this is just what I think it could be. What do YOU think?

[@Amelia-s8t1o]

Fluttershy- Schizoid and social anxiety Rarity-histrionic Rainbow dash-narcissist Pinkipie- ADHD or mania

[@akashiii3778]

and this is how the elements of insanity where formed

[@BananaB-e8v]

Before i even waith this, fluttershy has social anxiety. Im just gonna say right now. (But can also be very aggresive because she bottles up her feelings out of her fear to talk to people about it.) Edit: I KNEW IT!!

[@LiEnby]

I really liked that one episode where pinkie pie experiences extremely severe dissociation, depersonalisation, and identity alteration? It’s just so relatable! … just me? okay … *Later diagnosed with D.I.D.* Thanks My Little Pony …

[@Lauritonas]

I belive this is why they made them like that. Adhd, anxiety, ocd, etc.. These are quite normal disorder and thats why many people who watch have fav ponies which could mean they relate. The show teaches the viewers who might have these disorders that everything will be fine and show them ways to cope with the.

great analysis . while watching i also began to wonder, how many kids start to emulate the characters they admire and replicate the symptoms of these disorders when they dont actually have the disorder at all . like art imitating life and then goes full circle where life imitates the art

[@deathsheir2035]

Borderline personality disorder (BPD), is almost a perfect match for Pinkie. feel very worried about people abandoning you, and would do anything to stop that happening have very intense emotions that last from a few hours to a few days and can change quickly (for example, from feeling very happy and confident in the morning to feeling low and sad in the afternoon) not have a strong sense of who you are, and it can change depending on who you're with act impulsively and do things that could harm you (such as binge eating, using drugs or driving dangerously)... Namely the binge eating... have suicidal thoughts or self-harming behavior... About the only thing that doesn't match. feel empty and lonely a lot of the time... Whenever she is at a loss for what to do... mostly when she is unable to make others happy. get very angry, and struggle to control your anger... Never break a Pinkie Promise... When Stressed, the following applies to those with BDP: Feel Paranoid Have psychotic experiences, such as seeing or hearing things that other people don't feel numb or 'checked out' and not remember things properly after they've happened. She also shows signs of Schizotypal personality disorder. believe that you can read minds or that you have special powers such as a ‘sixth sense’... Pinkie Sense anyone? behave in ways that others find eccentric... If you don't think this is Pinkie Pie, you're delusional. think and express yourself in ways that others find ‘odd’, using unusual words or phrases... Again, if you don't think this is Pinkie Pie, you're delusional. feel anxious and tense with others who do not share these beliefs... How she dealt with Cranky Doodle Donkey. feel very anxious and paranoid in social situations... The Situation with the Yaks. Situation with Cheese Sandwich. find making close relationships extremely difficult... The only one that doesn't match.

THANK YOU FOR NOT MAKING RARITY HAVE NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER AND GIVING IT TO RAINBOW DASH

ADD is no longer a medical diagnosis, it's been combined with ADHD but split into 3 different types, inattentive, hyperactive, and combined
