Don't blame it on the Dark Side. Anakin Skywalker's epic transformation into the evil Darth Vader may have been a result of mental illness, according to a group of French psychiatrists and psychologists.

What was their first clue? Seriously, I hope no NSF dollars went into this rocket science. I figure my granny could have figured this one out.

Too funny! Altho I do like that they are educating the public to take away any stigma. Still, you have to laugh.

violent, dissociative events, such as when he kills a tribe of Tuskans in blind revenge, precipitated his turn to the Dark Side.
I would call killing an entire tribe of people "antisocial". I might even go as far as to say he was "sociopathic". The words "serial killer" or "mass murder" come to mind. Well, it's true what they say, kill 10 people and you'll face a firing squad. Kill a million people and they'll make you Chancellor of Russia. Okay, only I say that, but it's only because I've studied Russian history.
