The madness of the heralds and the DSM

[Shaukan-son-Hasweth he/him]

Today I randomly learned that apparently there are exactly 10 officially recognised personality disorders
Cluster A:
Paranoid Personality Disorder
Schizoid Personality Disorder
Schizotypal Personality Disorder

Cluster B:
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Histrionic Personality Disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Cluster C :
Avoidant Personality Disorder
Dependent Personality Disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

I wonder if they could somehow be mapped onto the heralds.

I know Brandon hast clearly stated that what affects the heralds is supernatural not a normal mental illness. Still I was interesting in finding out if they somehow inspired it

Paranoid Personality Disorder - Kelek
Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder - Shalash

Those two seem the most obvious, based on current data.

And just because the cause is at-least partially magical does not mean the effect cannot mirror real disorders.

Ishar or Nale? I’m leaning towards Ishar based on his god-complex.

I can’t connect one of these to Nale, maybe because I don’t know their definitions.
