This post contains spoilers for Nagito Komaeda, as well as for the Danganronpa series as a whole. All triggering subjects will be properly warned for in his tags.

☆ PTSD: Komaeda has a lot of trauma from both before and during the killing game, and though he's apathetic to most of it, it will still come up rather frequently. His triggers are airplanes, enclosed spaces, and serial killers.

☆ Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder: A byproduct of his trauma revolving around his karmic luck, Komaeda has a penchant of going to extremes in order to sway his supernatural talent. As such, he compulsively commits acts of despair as a means of achieving the hope he believes will follow.

☆ Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia (early stage): Diagnosed in middle school, Komaeda's dementia has no record of memory loss associated with it, but it does hinder his social skills considerably. He can be apathetic in the midst of terrible situations, he often will not understand social cues nor boundaries, and he has a difficult time forming deep, lasting bonds with others.

☆ Cancer (stage 3 lymphoma): Diagnosed at the same time as his dementia.

☆ Terrorism: Even before joining Ultimate Despair, Komaeda enacted terrorism due to his stringent belief in hope versus despair, as well as his reliance on his Ultimate Luck which always worked in extremes. Though he engaged in many acts of terrorism as a Despair, his earliest instance was during his high school years.

☆ Desecration of a corpse/self-mutilation: When Junko Enoshima died, Komaeda believed he could harbor a piece of her despair within himself, and use it to become the Ultimate Hope. By this belief, he not only cut off her corpse's arm, but his own—attaching the dead limb to himself to perpetuate Junko's influence.

☆ Brainwashing/forced memory loss: In order to erase the brainwashing Junko Enoshima had caused them, the Future Foundation placed Komaeda and his classmates within the Neo World Program: a rehabilitation program that erased their despair-filled memories in an attempt to replace them with normal ones.

☆ Kidnapping: In middle school, Komaeda was kidnapped and held hostage for ransom by a serial killer. During this event, he was confined within a small, sealed garbage bag, until authorities managed to find him.

☆ Dehumanization/slavery: Though self-imposed during his Despair days, Komaeda was once the slave to the Warriors of Hope, a group of adult-hating children who emotionally and physically abused him constantly.

☆ Attempted murder: As a participant in the Killing Game, Komaeda was constantly exposed to the threat of murder for an extended period of time. During this, he had also planned and attempted the murder of his classmate.

☆ Emotional abuse/manipulation: Not only is Komaeda a victim of emotional abuse and manipulation at the hands of Junko Enoshima, but he has used gaslighting, negging, and various forms of verbal abuse to manipulate others.

☆ Self-harm: Komaeda has a habit of committing emotional self-harm through forced isolation, but has gone to the extreme with physical self-torture, as well.

☆ Assisted suicide: Komaeda dies within the killing game via an elaborate suicide plan, in which he uses his Ultimate Luck to force an unknowing party to deal the finishing blow to him.
