comes this diagnosis for Donald Duck's erratic behavior (though not for his epidemic of pantslessness): he has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, induced when he was a paratrooper in WWII. As the theorist notes, he seems to have fairly regular flashbacks, difficulty responding normally to social stimuli, and "persistent symptoms of increased arousal (e.g. difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger and hypervigilance)" - not to mention a total disinterest in talking about his wartime experiences.
