You really like to white knight for BDSM. Sadism is when you enjoy inflicting pain on other. Sometimes so much so to the point you get a sexual thrill from it. Anyone looking at Tyrian during the fights he had and the way cross-reference those expression with the way he looked trying to "cheer himself up" by slaughtering that Beowolf, can tell his not just unhinged, he's psycho. And his psychosis is all about pleasure from violent acts. He loses himself in bloodlust and uses it as a crutch. He'd rather reduce himself to a mindless beast doing Salem's bidding rather than figure out what's wrong with himself and try to move forward and get himself some help. Most people don't go around dealing out pain to other and enjoying that abuse. Much less enjoying out-right ripping people up. He's like the Albedos, Jokers, Kefka, Kartakeyas, and any other madman lunatic that pops up in JRPGs and Anime/manga. Fun to watch but very clearly bat-shit insane.

Now, by describing what he's done flatly we can see it for what it is. Tyrian was crying, emotionally distraught. A Beowolf saw a moment of weakness and was drawn to his negative emotions. And Tyrian attacked it. While sitting on the beast he starts decimating it. He moves from tears to laughter. The cries still wet on his face. His tongue falls out of his mouth. And his eyes go biddy. He is laughing and trying to enjoy hurting something because he A) would never hurt Salem B) wishes he could get even with Qrow and Ruby C) wishes he didn't fail and finally D) wants to take his mind off of it to bask in blissful ignorance instead of over-thinking it. Now I'm no doctor but these above ideas are what I got from the scene. And if you check them with the way he acted in ep1 of season 4 and the way he approached the waitress and the fights it's clear what's level of madness he's at.
