Lulu wouldn't say she has any of those. What are you basing it on?
Mania, is basically the manic side of bipolar. There I was agreeing with you, but just drawing extra attention to that side.
Psychosis is a loss of contact with reality. Either by hallucinations, delusions, etc. I wouldn't say that Callisto is not at all in contact with reality. She basically sees everything through blinding rage. Sometimes she would even be walking around muttering to herself. This could also be seen as delirium.
Callisto doesn't trust anybody, which is basically what paranoia is. She teams up with people from time to time, but I wouldn't say she trusts them. It's hard to tell since she's basically the other side of paranoia herself where she's constantly turning on everybody.
Pyromania I thought would be fairly obvious. When she turns into a goddess she's constantly setting everything on fire. All of her powers are centered around fire.
I know what they are. My brain is like an encyclopedia of mental/emotional disorders.
As for the Mania, Mania is only it's own disorder when not associated with Bipolar. Therefore, if she has Bipolar, she doesn't have Mania. Her manic behavior is simply a symptom of Bipolar.
As for the Psychosis/Delirium theory, Callisto is entirely in touch with reality. She doesn't have hallucinations (that we know of) and her view on the world isn't any more skewed than any normal person with PTSD. And for the record, muttering is not frequently indicative of Psychosis. More often it's merely a personal habit. If it's a symptom of anything, chances are it's Psychopathy.
And Paranoia? I think not. It's a far leap from being
untrusting to having Paranoia. I know the physical and verbal signs of Paranoia quite well and I haven't seen any of them manifest in Callisto.
And last, but not least Pyromania. She loves chaos and destruction. That's why she sets things on fire. She's made that quite clear. If she was a Pyromaniac I'd think she'd show a lot more interest in the fire itself rather than just the mayhem it causes.
Alright. You've successfully discovered that we both agree she has bipolar. Congradulations. Now, for that last time I wasn't separating it as it's own illness. I was pointing it out as the more active side of her disorder. Would you be happier if I said manic? Please excuse me if my brain isn't the perfect encyclopedia as yours is.
Psychosis and DeliriumI don't see Callisto in touch with reality at all. Saying that a persons view who has PTSD isn't skewed is something that I can't agree with. As for the muttering, I'm not sure if you're saying that Callisto's muttering is a personal habbit or if it's a personal habbit of others. Callisto's character is based off of being evil and mentally unstable overall. If she was muttering I don't think it would be because it was a little quirk of hers.
For hallucinations, I was mostly considering the times she was dead and she would be hallucinating in Tatarus or Hell. If you won't count those, I can understand.
A more broad definition of Delirium, of what I understand, is mental confusion. As long as we both argue about how she isn't or is in touch with reality, I can't convince you to see it my way.
ParanoiaYou think not so thusfore that's correct? Because obviously you've experienced or witnessed everything and you're a master on the subject. These are just my opinions. So far whenever I've had an opinion that you didn't find suitable, you have been dead set on proving me wrong.
I think that not trusting
anybody would be paranoid. Not just
untrusting. She's not afraid of everybody like paranoia sometimes causes though.
PyromaniaI think that if Callisto was burning things just because she likes the destruction of it, she would use more than fire. Velasca used wind and lightning, and she was the goddess of chaos. Also, with the connection she has to fire, I don't think that it would be her main ability by coincidence. There was a H:LJ episode I saw where Callisto was saying how fire has become such a big part of her as she was admiring it. Because of all this, I would consider her to have pyromania.
This is the last I am going to say on this.
