The American Psychiatric Association (APA) is currently holding its 160th annual meeting in San Diego, California and do you want to know what are they talking about? Well, our beloved psychiatrists are talking about Star Wars and Darth Vader among other things.

Experts from France's University Hospital of Toulouse Psychiatric Department told the APA that if Anakin Skywalker was a real-life person, he could clearly be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. It's actually a mental illness marked by instability in moods, interpersonal relationships, self-image, and behavior.

One of those who "revealed" these findings was Dr. Laurent Schmitt. The expert mentioned that the study was based from the original Star Wars film scripts. Aside from Skywalker's conflicted relationship with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and the rest of the Jedi Council, the following were also taken into consideration:

• Problems with controlling anger and impulsivity
• Temporary stress-related paranoia,
• Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment (when trying to save his wife at all costs)
• A pattern of unstable and intense personal relationships
• Changing his name and turning into Darth Vader

Fans of the series know that Skywalker didn't really change his name. It was more like given to him by Sith Lord Darth Sidious. But any fan, we believe, can't contest the other four symptoms. We wonder what the APA thinks of Jabba the Hutt or Yoda.
