Ok I apologise for making assumptions. But when you say that you noticed your attraction to people with mental conditions after watching Sherlock I found it hard not to.
If you have researched them thoroughly, then I think the answer to your question is no it's not normal. I think being attracted to people who are slightly dysfunctional, different, awkward is fairly normal. But people diagnosed with psychosis or psychopathy/sociopathy aren't 'slightly dysfunctional, different', they have serious issues. That's something that to most people would be concerning and not something they'd be attracted by, but attracted in spite of.
Is it normal to be attracted to neurosis/psychosis?
