I suggest gathering all your crazy dwarfs into a single chamber and start playing this.

I don't know how it would help, but it woul be as funny as hell.

I think this would classify as mentally disturbed.

I was going to make him baron, but I didn't want a leader that liked starved men for their disturbing, horryfying, and murderous (macabre) ways.

I'd recommend keeping her miserable to try and get some dwarf leather trousers. Oysters, everywhere.

I suggest handing her a crossbow and a quiver.

Then again, that's my solution to everything.

It *would* be kind of interesting to have a way to cure dwarven insanity--perhaps a risky one, but why not?

But dwarven health care in general has a long way to go. There still aren't any wheelchairs for our wounded warriors (or, y'know, that-guy-who-dodged-away-from-a-raccoon-and-off-a-cliff-and-broke-his-back, which is far more common). It could be something for the Mechanics shop--maybe Throne+Wheelbarrow+Mechanism. It'd work like the crutch, just go into the dorf's inventory, moves normal speed on floor, half speed on dirt, quarter speed on stairs and ramps. Personally, I find it irritating to see a dwarf with nerve damage dragging himself around slowly. We're working with a race that's as injury-prone as dwarves and so mechanically adept that they can create traps which infallibly capture dragons in wooden cages or pump magma up from the depths... You'd think they could figure out the concept of "wheelchair", or something like it.

Though maybe that's the issue. The concept is just too simple for the dwarven mind to grasp!

sounds more like cluster C personality traits IMO, predominantly avoidant. Here is my formal multi-axial diagnosis

Axis I - Bipolar I disorder (as consistent with race)
Axis II - Cluster C traits
Axis III - Alcohol dependence
Axis IV - Living in perpetual fear of goblin sieges, frequent periods of starvation and regular deaths of social contacts
Axis V - GAF 50%

Quote from: Malarauko
I had an above ground garden built in the grounds of my castle and two young dwarves spent time socialising there over the summer and at the end of the summer they were in love. Remember those long summers of your childhood? That first kiss in the gardens while crossbows dwarves shoot goblins above your head? The rain of dead birds as the hunters get to work? Truly Spearhills is a paradise.
