DPP: Tigger on the Couch

Today's DPP is inspired by a book I have called "Tigger on the Couch: The neuroses, psychoses, disorders and maladies of our favourite childhood characters".
In it the author puts forward diagnoses of various characters from childhood books. These include Tigger (ADHD), Pollyanna (in denial), Peter Rabbit (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) and The Wicked Witch of the West (Explosive Personality Disorder).
This book has inspired me to ask - what neuroses, psychoses, disorders and maladies do pilots, or those they have close relationships with, have? What is your pet theory? Can you offer any evidence?
I think that Kara has some PTSD in the mix, certainly after New Caprica, and (possibly an unpopular opinion) have never had a problem believing that Lee is depressed at points - I really see it at the start of S3. Bill also clearly has some issues that cause the behaviours we see from him throughout the series.
As with yesterday, feel free to post your own theories, links to fic or meta or write some fic of your own :)

For anyone who missed it, yesterday's DPP on Counter-Factual Pilots is here.
