I recently rewatched Matchstick Men. The protagonist had OCD and often experienced facial tics while talking. He went into a crisis mode when he ran out of meds and it was ultimately revealed they were actually a placebo.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

Though it appears on the outside that he is simply dealing with drug addiction, I think he was also dealing with some deeper mental issues.
