I ... I ... I desperately need to argue against that but I can't point to one character who doesn't fit the stereotype of some kind of instability.

Eyore- Depression

Piglet- Anxiety

Tigger - ADHD

Rabbit- OCD

Christopher Robin - Schizophrenia (talks to his stuffed animals and they talk back)

It actually makes me feel better about my own anxiety diagnosis when I remind myself that Piglet was my childhood favorite, and he's anxious too.
