A different kind of diversity

The tricky thing about characters diverse in mental conditions is that there is little to no way of knowing if a character really does have them by looking at them at surface level. We have no official diagnosis and lists of every health condition of every character, so why couldn’t Tracer have ADHD. More than a few characters probably have depression, or even paranoia, but it’s good to leave it to speculation. What a lot of people also don’t realize is asking for these kinds of traits can lead to people only feeling satisfied by a character’s voice lines and personality making it blatantly obvious that the character has a condition, to the point where their symptoms seem exaggerated.
