So I've thinking for a while on starting a community fortress around the idea of a prision and asylum for dwarves. But I haven't been able to find any mods that create psycopath dwarves or things like that, and that would be really interesting and useful for such a fort.

Anyone knows a mod like that?

Nope, but it's easy to do as long as you know what to do.

The easiest thing: add rare castes which can randomly tantrum. Just add

[CASTE:MALE_CRAZY]
[MALE]
[CASTE:FEMALE_CRAZY]
[FEMALE]
[MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
[SELECT_CASTE:MALE_CRAZY]
 [SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:FEMALE_CRAZY]
   [CAN_DO_INTERACTION:CRAZY_FIT]
      [CDI:ADV_NAME:Madness]
      [CDI:USAGE_HINT:FLEEING]
      [CDI:VERB:go crazy:has gone stark raving mad:NA]
      [CDI:TARGET:A:SELF_ONLY]
      [CDI:WAIT_PERIOD:10000]
      [CDI:FREE_ACTION]

10000 here is time ticks between rages. Give those castes [POP_RATIO:X] where X is a small number in comparison to POP_RATIO on normal castes.
Don't forget to add an interaction itself.

[INTERACTION:CRAZY_FIT]
   [I_SOURCE:CREATURE_ACTION]
   [I_TARGET:A:CREATURE]
      [IT_LOCATION:CONTEXT_CREATURE]
      [IT_CANNOT_TARGET_IF_ALREADY_AFFECTED]
   [I_EFFECT:ADD_SYNDROME]
      [IE_TARGET:A]
      [IE_IMMEDIATE]
      [SYNDROME]
      [SYN_NAME:madness]
         [CE_FLASH_TILE:TILE:33:4:0:1:FREQUENCY:5:5:START:0:END:150]
         [CE_ADD_TAG:CRAZED:START:0:END:150]

I typed from my head so I could make a few typos, but you get the idea.
CE_FLASH_TILE makes mad dwarves flash with a red "!" when they are in a crazy fit, and 150 on flash tile and CRAZED tag is the duration in tick the tantrum lasts.

You could make a mental medicine which adds a syndrome with [SYNDROME_CLASS:MENTAL] and lowers creativity/willpower (and maybe something else, like skills), and add [IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS:MENTAL] to the CRAZY_FIT interaction.

P.S. This guy: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133685.0 completes mod requests, so you can link him to this thread and he can come up with additional things you want to add, and post them all here.

Halflings disease mod has some psychological issues, like psychopaths, included. It works, but is very hard to micromanage.
