Arguments might be made that he suffers from dysthymic disorder (mild but persistent and intrusive depression) because he does not openly demonstrate his suffering at the story's beginning, or posttraumatic stress disorder because these problems follow the traumatic events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Understanding that Obi-Wan likely has PTSD is helpful because it portrays what I believe is an important lesson. I have some theories to share, and I promise it all links up. It's my opinion that when it comes to trauma, a part of what causes so much pain is that it disconnects us from ourselves and others.
He also had to live with the fact he basically trained Darth Vader and watched him turn on the Jedi, killing countless people even after Order 66. Given the events of Obi-Wan Kenobi and the prequels, it is pretty clear that Obi-Wan's ultimate weakness is likely his PTSD.
Zuckuss, a Gand bounty hunter, also suffered from schizophrenia, which developed after he had left his homeworld. Co-morbid with his multiple personality disorder, the condition caused him to hear voices and it contributed to the Gand's violent outbursts.

Who is the schizophrenic Star Wars actor?
Jake Lloyd's mom added, “He is relating to people better and becoming a little bit more social, which is really nice. It's kind of like having more of the old Jake back, because he has always been incredibly social until he became schizophrenic.”
According to our observations on Star Wars, Anakin presents a BPD pattern mainly related to emotional instability, impulsivity, and aggressiveness traits.
Others have pointed to Obi-Wan's struggle to imagine a relationship with them, coupled with further reflections on his knowing some fellow Padawans had shared a degree of physical intimacy he had never been interested in, to suggest he could instead be considered asexual or aromantic.
Obi-Wan was born deaf. He had never heard a single noise in his whole life. It was perhaps a miracle that he was discovered by the Jedi on Stewjon as a young boy. Now, he's a general in the Clone Wars, and one mission calls for extra help from a few other Jedi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano.
The message was put on the new episode for the same reason a warning was added to the premiere that dropped May 27: There is violence against children.
Many are often shocked to find that Obi-Wan was only 57 years old when he died fighting Darth Vader in A New Hope. For many, the issue of Obi-Wan's age is a plot hole, as he was initially seen as this old solitary man, but Star Wars made him younger than he looked in the original trilogy.
During Mandalore's Civil War and his apprenticeship under Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan fell in love with the young Duchess Satine Kryze. The two lived on the run for over a year. Satine reciprocated his feelings as he saved her life from insurgents and bounty hunters.
Arguments might be made that he suffers from dysthymic disorder (mild but persistent and intrusive depression) because he does not openly demonstrate his suffering at the story's beginning, or posttraumatic stress disorder because these problems follow the traumatic events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
I suggest that when Ren's emotional outbursts, impulsivity, and unstable self-concept are looked at more closely, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and that perhaps he is simply not just a cold-hearted villain after all.
One of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a great example of the ISFJ personality type. Though he is not as stereotypically ISFJ as a character like Samwise Gamgee or Captain America, I do think that's the best fit for him.
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.
Looking back at film canon, Obi-Wan never really exhibits an interest in romance; it's only in The Clone Wars animated series that Obi-Wan has a love story, with Satine Kryze (a Mandalorian duchess). The two don't even kiss, but they do declare their love for each other.
In canon no Obi-Wan doesn't have kids. However, there is this theory where he and Satine had a child together but she hide it from him, knowing how it could ruin his jedi career. This child would be Satine's “nephew” Korkie Kryze…
Years after his death, during her duel with Jacen Solo, Lumiya alluded to Palpatine, saying he was a "psychopath consumed by power.". Palpatine's manipulative behaviour cannot be exaggerated as he manipulated the entire galaxy into doing his bidding.
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.
