I thinks it's offensive and disrespectful to joke about something serious sometimes. Joking about mental illness, some horrible historical events like genocide etc. isn't my thing and I dislikes it to be honest since it gives an impression of trivializing something. It's a bit different if a person who belongs to the group themselves have some self-irony.
The person who tells the joke gives a more impression of trivializing and making fun of something if they hasn't experienced it than if a person has experienced it. Therefor a person with OCD can tell a joke and it appears lesser offensive than a person without it telling a similar joke.

The first one is kinda funny, the last one is fucked up. The others are eh. Personally I try to stay away from joking about mental illness and disabilities just because most of the time, it's rather insensitive and cruel.
I only find the first one amusing since its a "classic" (or at least very old). Also, I appreciate knowing DID and schizophrenia are not the same.
The rest of them run in some part of my family.

Making light of bad situations is how a lot of people cope and live with it man. I got chronic depression dawg and helps to laugh about it sometimes
