Oddly enough the new Suicide Squad was a perfect fictional case study into psychological disorders, take a look...
Captain Boomerang AKA Boomer: The classic sociopath, relishes causing drama and disruptive arguments around him simply for his own amusement. Antagonistic in groups, while establishing a pecking order hierarchy of abuse where he is at the top of the ladder.
Harley Quinn: Empath with Borderline Personality Disorder and schizophrenia, even without the mental torment by the joker Harley was born with BPD a disorder made worse with trauma. Those with BPD swing from extreme emotional polarities while often confusing reality with their fictional idealized version which is further distorted by their current emotional state.
One minute she is is a princess in Disney fairytale love story, the next she is the hero slaying dragons, while each fantasy switches quickly and violently depending on her emotions. These fantasies allow her to detach from her empathy and reality around her, sparing her from feeling guilt from her many poorly made decisions.
Polka Dot Man: Reactive attachment disorder, when sociopaths are misdiagnosed as introverted(No such thing as an introverted sociopath) they are actually suffering from R.A.D. This disorder begins to manifest in childhood often from parental emotional abuse and neglect. It stems from a disruption in the cortisol production of the brain that reinforces negative neural pathways. Someone with R.A.D. will often jump away from physical contact and display a detachment from emotions with awkward public displays of anti social behavior. Unlike Sociopathy R.A.D. can actually be treated and cured with intensive psycho-therapy.
Bloodsport and Peacemaker: Both are Alpha Empaths a current unclassified diagnosis that goes unrecognized by modern psychology. The disorder stems from extreme Trauma and Abuse at a very young age that distorts the empathic responses to a much more narrow range of emotions. Basically while normal empaths feel a huge range of emotions, alpha empaths are limited to Anger and Rage. These rage Reponses over-ride their normal empathy and make them prone to competitive behavior where they feel the need to impose their dominance over others through public displays of superiority, due to their own self exile of nurturing feelings that stems from guilt and self loathing.
Javelin: Narcissist, enjoys teasing and deriding others around him while adoring the sound of adulation from others. Narcissist often enjoy a distorted self image of self imposed importance that inflates their mental worth. Narcissists are also prone to fits of rage when they feel they haven't gotten enough regular supply of praise. They also hold extremely long grudges and spend a majority of their time thinking of ways to punish those they feel slighted by.
Amanda Waller: Psychopath, extremely detached from any form of empathy, psychopaths literally cannot feel guilt. Unlike sociopaths, psychopaths do not let their emotional outbursts govern their actions, the emotions they display are often carefully selected for maximum manipulation, much like outfits they pick from the closet. Psychopaths are often driven by some higher ideal or cause they use to justify their often demonic behavior and they glaze over the fact the only joy they find in life is in subverting the will of others.
