Can there be a mental illness for acting badass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe, Maybe Not: Ultimately, for mental illness the defining standard is whether or not the mental state or behaviors cause significant distress and problems in areas of life such as work, academics, personal relationships, legal issues and so on. Officially, there's no diagnostic code for badass, but if its causing problems, better look into it. Badass behaviors can be the result of several mental conditions.
