maybe but it could also be that Baldi is a psychotic triggered by explosive rage who is perfectly happy and sane until triggered, at which point he attacks - I'm not going in-depth on psychology over Baldi as the game is clearly not meant to be taken too seriously but he doesn't seem to have a distinct alternate self.. for games and settings that have little background to a mentally unsound character I think just plain "mental illness" is a safer bet.. a good use for it after all.. when a plot doesn't define what class of illness a character has just place them in "mentally ill".

drastic change in personality can be PTSD, bipolar, psychotic rage (which I think Baldi may have) - who knows?

again, Baldi's not exactly a game we should argue too much on, just a thought.
