The mental pathology of Sunset Shimmer is an interesting subject and one best left to the experts to address in detail. However, her behaviour (across the EqG Franchise and not limited simply to the original film) suggests that, from a young age, she demonstrated symptoms of narcissism, paranoia and some type of sociopathy or psychopathy.

She is not by any shade of the imagination 'crazy' or 'evil' but she has impulses that make her over-aggressive and thoughtless. She also has problems considering others' viewpoints as valid or even of any relevance. Her street artist alter-ego is an interesting symptom of this, demonstrating tha she doesn't automatically consider how the owners of walls that she is planning to decorate might think.
