It's fairly well know that the characters in Winnie the Pooh represent different mental illnesses (or at least a common theory). For those that don't know:
Pooh - EDNOS
Rabbit - OCD
Eeyore - Major Depressive Disorder
Piglet - Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Kanga and Roo - Disassociative Identity Disorder
Christopher Robbin - Gender Dysphoria (obviously this is outdated and now he would simply be Transgender which, of course, is not a mental disorder)
Owl - Dyslexia
Tigger - ADHD

What shows etc would you also suggest?

I'll start in a following post with mine:
 
Disney Princess Disorders

Ariel:
1) Hoarding
2) Body Dysmorphia

Belle:
1) Stockholm Syndrome
2) Zoophilia (Bestiality)

Aurora:
1) Kleine-Levin Syndrome
2) Clinical Depression

Elsa:
1) Avoidant Personality Disorder
2) Agoraphobia

Snow White
1) Delusional Disorder (believes she can communicate with animals)
2) Narcissistic Personality Disorder (everything revolves around her perception of her beauty and obsession with her looks)
3) Vitamin D Deficiency

Anna:
1) ADHD

Cinderella:
1) Dependent Personality Disorder (stays with her step-mother and sisters no matter how cruelly they treat her and lets them make all decisions for her, major or minor; even when she does finally leave them it's because a man appears to "save" her and she then depends on him for everything)

Jasmine
1) Trust Issues
2) Anger Issues
3) Aspects of Borderline Personality Disorder

Rapunzel:
1) Agoraphobia
2) Dependent Personality Disorder

Tiana:
1) Zoophilia

Alice:
1) Schizophrenia
2) Substance Abuse
3) Eating Disorder

Meridia:
1) Anti-social Personality Disorder


If anyone would like me to elaborate or explain any part of any of this I am more than happy to expand and discuss it.
 
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Frank - Antisocial PD
Dennis - Narcissistic PD
Dee - Borderline PD
Mac - Histrionic PD
Charlie - Schizotypal PD

This is my favorite show and i think these characters really depict these disorders well. Give it a go if you are interested in personality disorders.
