After watching the Hepatitis episode, it just dawned on my that Hawkeye had
many "mental" episodes.

Among them:

1) Hepatitis
2) Sneezing Fits
3) Sleep Walking
4) Goodbye Farewell and Amen

Any others?

if we are talking "mental" we could include "Bananas, Crackers, and
Nuts" -even though he was "fakin' it..."

and of course, some could argue that Hawkeye also suffered from "Peter
Pan Syndrome" in many episodes...

I am sure there are many others disorders, obsessions, etc that we could
include too...

What's the name of the second-year episode with the sleep deprivation?

Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde, wasn't it?

every time I watch that episode, I'm reminded of myself. Between working
full-time, going to school full-time and raising a teenager, I suffer from
insomnia most of the time. If I'm not worried about something at work,
I'm trying to figure out an algebra problem -- or how I'm going to afford
the prom dress my daughter decided she wanted to wear (and that was just
last week)

It gets really bad when I finally fall asleep and dream about algebra
problems all night -- finally solving something that I couldn't figure out
all day while awake. But that was only last night. Tonight will probably
be something really big!

"Dr Pierce & Mister Hyde"?

http://www.tv.com/mash/dr.-pierce-and-mr.-hyde/episode/43228/summary.html

Hawkeye has been in non-stop surgery for 3 straight days without sleep, and the wounded keep coming. He decides to find out who started the war, and sends a telegram to Harry S Trueman. After listening to some of Frank's rubbish about the North Koreans wanting better plumbing, he tries to send the officers' latrine to the North Koreans with an offer of peace. Trapper finally manages to sedate him. Trapper (about Hawkeye): "I guess he's just unstable. You see, he took this weird oath as a young man, never to just stand by and watch people die."

Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Pierce? YOu mean the one where he asks the chopper
pilot not to fly, and ends up driving the officers latrine to North
Korea?

The one where his friend pushed him into the water, when they were
kids. And then the rainy night and he goes nuts. Shooting basketball
at night and calls Radar "Stinky", or Dexter.

An easy trivia question that's related (and ironic):

What other full-time M*A*S*H doctor had a mental disorder? What's ironic,
he was discharged because of it.

Claustrophobia - Like the others it appeared suddenly in one episode
and never recurred. And he didn't even need Sidney's Evelyn Wood
therapy program to lick this one.

Psychosomatic Back Pain - Col. Potter diagnoses it and, yes, it goes
away as instantly as it came.

And then there's the one where he sexually assaults all of Radar's
animals and ritually sacrifices their carcasses to Osiris, the god of
patent leather, in the supply tent. This one is rarely shown in
syndication, but not to worry - he's cured in twenty-six minutes.

That fair-haired guy with glasses, from the eight-oh-sixty-third or the eight-oh-double-nickel, or wherever?

I used to have a M*A*S*H Trivia book, but gave it to a guy at work who looked a lot like Klinger...he even went to a M*A*S*H convention back in the 70s, *dressed* like Klinger. Everyone there thought he was Jamie, unless they were seen together. He even has a photo. I can't remember if Farr was in fatigues/character, or civvies.

Frank Burns. Didn't he get honorably discharged from the Army because he
went "nuts" with some General's wife?

I just thought the parallel between Hawkeye and Frank Burns ironic. And
the strongest character in the whole MASH run and he had the most mental
problems...

I thought Frank was eventually promoted to (Lt?) Colonel after that "general's wife" incident...

Potter: "he's being transfered out of here..."

charges and transfered him to a veterans hospital in Indiana and
promoted him to Lieutenant Colonel."

You know, Hawkeye wasn't the only one with mental problems. He mighta
been the loudest, though.

BJ got drunk and beat up Hawkeye, and the still.
Margaret ranted after the dog got run over in the compound.
Trapper decided to try and make it home. Knew one guy who shipped
himself home in a guitar case.
Blake drowned his sorrows in liquor.
Potter stormed a bit when the kids reacted to the horse serum for
injection immunizations.

I wouldn't call that one a medical problem. He only rarely got violent.
Most epsodes of this nature merely had him getting more angry than most
about being away from his family. He'd sometimes react in odd ways
(trying to make money any way he could in "Wheelers and Dealers" rather
than have his wife go to work) but that was just his way of coping.
Notice that in the case I mentioned, all it took was a verbal blasting
from Margaret to get him out of it.

She showed us she had a heart.

You mention Trapper's one time he tried to get out but ignore Klinger's
many times?

: Blake drowned his sorrows in liquor.

You may have a point here, but he wasn't the only one drinking.

: Potter stormed a bit when the kids reacted to the horse serum for
: injection immunizations.

Remember the context. He had just found out he was the last survivor of a
tontine dating back to 1918 and was very emotional about it.

Now Flagg! HE needed help!

OK, how about that episode where the beautiful nurse kept coming on to
BJ but he refused to do her because he "loved his wife"? Now *that's*
mentally ill!
