The first thing I thought of was this: (Loud sound warning) Be sure to do a thorough job researching precisely what it feels like to have those disorders, and get first-hand accounts if possible. I'm sure the last thing you'd want to do is offend someone with one of those disorders by misrepresenting it. Also, start small, by picking one disorder and sticking with it until it's perfect. I'd like to see the PTSD one, myself. I think that option might be able to deliver the most realistic experience for players, while making them feel like one with PTSD feels, without necessarily just getting frustrated by the game. I think that would be the easiest one for players to empathize with.
