I read a theory that Anakin has PTSD(or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in this Anakin meta: http://albumsontheside.livejournal.com/45282.html What do you think?

I'm pretty much convinced that yes.

Like the argument that Anakin suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder, I'm skeptical of putting a mythical character in some kind of early 21st century psychological box. Undoubtedly Anakin suffers from extreme stress in the film but that's not from being in a war. He seems to be doing just fine at the beginning of ROTS. It's all of the stuff with the Jedi Council, the pregnancy and nightmare/vision, and Palpatine finally making his move that put him over the brink.

Yeah, that's a good point. I think people sometimes exaggerate Anakin's issues. Considering things such as child slavery, I think he coped pretty dang well.
