While his love for Padmé was genuine (however dangerous), the need to keep the romance a secret enhanced his disdain for society. When he says on Mustafar that “from my point of view, the Jedi are evil”, that's Anakin showing his true colours as a sociopath. It was the Jedi Order who took him away from his mother.
That's just in the movies. The expanded universe has him being a sociopath even when he was a kid (including murdering his parents and siblings), and is incapable of feeling regret when committing heinous actions and various misdemeanors (including manslaughter when driving like a maniac).
Some assert that Anakin had narcissistic personality disorder, while others posit, he had bipolar personality disorder, contradicting to each other; some assert he had borderline personality disorder, while others are challenging these claims; some assert he had PTSD while others doesn't even consider it.
These changes caught the attention of a group of psychologists and psychiatrists, who conducted a study on Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in which they diagnosed the iconic villain as having borderline personality disorder.

At the end it is the fact that Anakin just CANNOT be what it needs to be as a Jedi, but that he WANTS and FAILS in trying to be that, because he knows about his POWER. Ironically his ADHD made him both: A more powerful and a less qualified Jedi.
Indeed, Skywalker exhibited six out of nine of the borderline personality disorder criteria laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV), although fitting five is enough for a diagnosis.
In a study published in the journal Psychiatry Research, French psychologists and psychiatrists determined that Darth Vader had six of the nine criteria used for a BPD diagnosis, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM): Impulsivity. Rage and anger management issues.
The canonical comic Star Wars: Darth Vader #7 confirms the younglings' deaths caused Anakin grief, self-loathing, hatred, and pain, fueling his descent even further into the Dark Side.
While all droids understand Binary, only a handful of living creatures can. Canon characters, such as Anakin Skywalker, whose relationship with R2-D2 is one of the best in the whole series, Rey, Poe Dameron, Hera Snydulla and Kazuda Xiono are fluent in the droid language.
Luke, meanwhile, is a textbook model of adolescent depression, what with his "not doing chores, hanging out in bars," and "bullseyeing womp rats," and later shows symptoms of prodromal schizophrenia, including auditory and visual hallucinations and grandiose delusions of saving the galaxy.
The choice to leave his mother at a young age continues to haunt Anakin throughout his life. He is plagued by nightmares of her and visions of her fate. When he eventually saves her from a group of Tuskens on Tatooine, his blind anger at her dying state consumes him.
Star Wars: The Visual Encyclopedia says that as "windows to the soul, eyes reflect the emotions harnessed by the Sith. When rage and anger seethe inside a dark side user, their eyes may burn yellow with a fiery-red rim." What that means is a Sith's emotions will be shown through their eyes.
Darth Vader is cool – and Darth Vader is severely disabled. He's a quadruple amputee and burn survivor. The limbs underneath those gloves and boots are prosthetics; the suit with its blinking lights includes a complex life-support system.
You are also more likely to have it if you are male, had behavioral problems as a child, or grew up in an unstable environment. Many people are unaware of the disorder and may never be diagnosed. The word sociopath (and its cousin, psychopath) carries a lot of stigma and misconceptions.
High functioning sociopathy is also not a clinical term. It is language that may be socially used to describe a person with antisocial personality disorder, yet appears to have impeccable social skills or has a well-developed ability to fit in.
Empirical studies using the PCL-R (Hare, 2003) have shown no intelligence differences between psychopaths and nonpsychopaths. However, Cleckley (1976) argued that psychopaths often show superior intelligence.
He was a very smart Individual and had great potential not only in the force. The reason for his usual lapse in judgement when he's angry is because he was not emotionally developed enough, because of the Jedi order not allowing him to do so.
Before he was initiated into the Jedi Order, when he was enslaved on Tatooine, Anakin was just a child, and he had a lot of kindness in his heart. He selflessly offered assistance to the likes of Qui-Gon and Padmé, had deep love for his mother, he did not let other kids' opinions of him get him down.
Originally, George Lucas chose a concept with much longer hair which was bound into a ponytail. He wanted to make it similar to Qui-Gon's from TPM to emphasize Anakin's independence, his rebellion against the Council and also, to make him look dashing.
