Naruto theory suggests Sakura may have a mental illness

In the world of Naruto, there are several main characters introduced to readers and the audience. Each of these characters possesses unique characteristics that make them stand out. While Naruto, the protagonist, is often seen as a highly energetic and naive boy, Sasuke is depicted as a loner and a quiet student on a single mission. However, despite being introduced as one of the main characters, Sakura did not sit well with many fans.

Over the years, Sakura became a controversial character within the Naruto community due to her behavior, skills, arrogance, and most importantly, her role in the story. She garnered so much hate that the community started coming up with wild theories regarding her character. One of the most intriguing theories is that Sakura Haruno might have a mental illness, and this article aims to break down specific hints left by the author that could support this theory.

First, let us take a look at some of the events that led to the creation of these theories. One of the most infamous cases was Sakura’s obsessive nature towards Sasuke and her terrible attitude towards Naruto. Later on, she was portrayed as someone who became dependent on others. While most anime-only audiences might not be aware of this, the way adult Sakura has been drawn to specific scenes has led many to believe that she might suffer from depression. Her face looks stressed and hurt compared to any other character in the show.

As mentioned earlier, Sakura used to obsess over Sasuke, which was referred to as OLD (obsessive love disorder). Moreover, her love for Sasuke came out of nowhere, as Team 7 did not spend much time together to become friends, let alone lovers. On the other hand, Sasuke did not care about her at all, making her one-sided love worse when she kept obsessing over him. This same obsession seemed to turn into depression after 15 years when Sakura had a family with Sasuke and their only child.

In a specific manga panel, when Sarada asked if Sakura was Sasuke’s wife, she had a mental breakdown and completely broke down their house. While this was depicted more comically in the anime, her face was shown to be more severe in the manga. Hence, it can be deduced that Sakura’s mental stability has not been the greatest ever since the beginning of Naruto. Her past obsession with Sasuke seems to have led to her current depressive episodes.

Additionally, her dependent nature during her teenage days hinted at DPD (dependent personality disorder), which she might have recovered from. However, readers should note that these are just theories based on events depicted in the source materials. While each character in Naruto has some unique and powerful traits, there are many positive things about Sakura that can be said.
