Modern movies with psychologically dysfunctional characters?

For my psychology class we need to watch a movie and write a report in which we "diagnose" a major character in the plot with a dysfunction.

Examples might be Raymond from the movie Rainman, or Sybil from the movie Sybil.

Can you think of modern movies with characters who exhibit these qualities?

Thanks!

    the problem with fight club is that i believe the author has no idea what disorder he is writing about. he thinks the character is schizophrenic but makes him out to have dissociative identity disorder.

    a good one is numb about a person with depersonalization disorder or prozac nation about depression or even the soloist about schizophrenia. it just came out.

    Honestly the BEST movie for this project is the movie Fight Club. The main character has a major psychological problem but you dont realize it till the end. Watch it and write.
