[Avatar The last Airbender] What Mental Illness did the charavter Azula most likely suffer from? What symptoms were notable throughout the show.

As the question states above, I'm arguing that she doesn't have psychopathy (which is a term that isn't used anymore). I've heard theories on her suffering from ASPD, but despite that she seems to be very emotional, just lacking empathy and guilt from others. At one point in the show she shows remorse or at least a form of longing for her mothers love, so clearly she does feel things, just not normally. I believe she has ASPD, but more on the BPD side. She was very manipulative and lacked any care for others, but was overall emotionally troubled.

Overall, anyone who is an expert on this or understands about mental illnesses can bring in arguments.

Schizophrenia. 

Early warning signs include:


Paranoia (She dismisses the Dai li, the royal firebenders, and a servant girl who didn't de-pit a cherry)


Deterioration of personal hygiene (She cuts her hair haphazardly, before being confronted by her hallucination of her mother)


Hostility (I don't feel the need to support this one)


Inappropriate laughter or crying (During the final agni kai Azula's madness is most manifest, and she laughs through the entire thing)

Schizophrenia tends to manifest between early teens to late twenties. It is accompanied by delusions of grandeur and persecution. Azula cracked under the strain her father put her through, and her latent mental instability was brought to the forefront.
