The classroom looked bright and shiny, Cameron has opened some of the windows and was leaning against the desk in front of the room. As soon as everyone took a seat, he spoke up.

"Alright, listen up boys and girls. Crazy Squid Lady Professor Drusilla couldn't make it today for whatever reason crazy people have, so I'll be holding this class. I've got an assignment for you all, which I hope you will appreciate and put to good use. I'll open discussion and I hope that by the end of the class you'll all have sufficient material to write an essay on the topic."

He clapped his hands together and even despite his bad mood as of late, he grinned at everyone. "Topic today is actually our own much feared beloved teacher. I want you all to come up with one or two, or however many mental illnesses that you think she is suffering from and explain to me why. By the end of the class, you should have sufficient material to write a short essay on the topic. Extra credits for the person who comes up with the most illnesses."

"I know a lot of people are very weary of this class, so take this opportunity to relax, sit back and speak your mind." With a nod and a wave of his hand, he indicated that the floor was now open for discussions.

I believe that it is best not to diagnose one as mentally ill without having a proper evaluation done by a qualified professional- or at least someone who has more knowledge then I. Considering my, I think, unique (in this class) knowledge of our illustrious teacher's past, I would feel as if I was cheating if I offered any sort of assesment onto Professor Druscilla's mental state, and the possible reasons behind her entering that state.

Also, I dislike the assumption everyone has been making- that Miss Edith is not, in fact, responding. While I do not hold this up as the most likely of scenarios, it is a possibility that many do not seem to consider. However, when it is taken into consideration that we are discussing the mental state of a vampire, the fact that a doll may be sentient is not all that farfetched.
