From CBS News, via WebMD:
Anakin Skywalker, the Star Wars character who became Darth Vader, had borderline personality disorder, psychiatrists report. The news comes not from a galaxy far, far away, but from San Diego, where the American Psychiatric Association (APA) is holding its 160th annual meeting. Experts from the psychiatric department at France’s University Hospital of Toulouse told the APA’s annual meeting that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader could “clearly” be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.
