All of his politics aside, watching Beck, I feel that his entire persona is carefully orchestrated. Of course, the same is true for many in his industry, but IMO there is a specific pathological narrative-building to his personality. I do believe that he genuinely suffered from these maladies, but I don't think it is within his capacity to communicate that suffering in a sincere way. My guess is that his sense of self is powerfully dependent upon his ability to manipulate the way that he is perceived (i.e. Winston Churchill and I are similar).
It's a dangerous personality type, IMHO, because many people seem programmed to respond to it.
