How many personality/mental disorders are present in "It's Always Sunny"?

First of all, the characters are pretty much all destructive assholes, both towards society and each other.

Dennis is clearly a sociopath with the narcissistic tendencies and sexual behaviors present in most serial killers.

Mac has textbook body dysmorphic disorder.

Dee has delusions of grandeur

Charlie seems to be the sickest by far and I wouldn't rule out schizophrenia. (I can't remember if his "dream book" was based on actual dreams or hallucinations)

Frank just seems to be an eccentric a-hole.





None of these dark observations affects my enjoyment of the show at all, FWIW. I actually feel it's the point. I also feel like Dennis is currently the most underrated comedy character on television.

Charlie - Sociopathy,
He was underrated in the thread about how evil the Sunny characters are. He is maybe the most sociopathic character besides Dennis. In his defense, it's sometimes hard to tell if it's his raging ADHD/other learning disorders making him look like a sociopath.

Frank is the only character without a serious disorder IMO. He finds it hard to be empathetic because he's a nihilist but that's about it. He knows exactly who he is and it doesn't bother him which can't be said of anyone else in the gang. He genuinely loves living the life of a degenerate.

Charlie's not evil, he's a simpleton. He does very little with a malicious intent unlike the rest.

Maybe, but it's hard for him to gain mainstream popularity because he's so creepy and terrible
