Daniel is most likely diagnosed with Bipolar I, a more severe subtype of the disorder which presents with full-blown mania (in contrast to the milder hypomania in II) and often psychosis, a mental state which Daniel exhibits many classic symptoms of. Another major driving force behind Daniel's [[meltdowns]] is his bipolarism, as in multiple of them, he is seen exhibiting psychotic behaviors. As an example, during the [[Likee Meltdown]], Daniel repeatedly threatened to commit suicide, as well as self-harming, if he was not given information on the status of [[Grace VanderWaal]] and her family. | Daniel is most likely diagnosed with Bipolar I, a more severe subtype of the disorder which presents with full-blown mania (in contrast to the milder hypomania in II) and often psychosis, a mental state which Daniel exhibits many classic symptoms of.

=== PTSD === | |||
'''Post-traumatic stress disorder''', or '''PTSD''', is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.<ref>[https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/post-traumatic-stress-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20355967#:~:text=Post%2Dtraumatic%20stress%20disorder%20(PTSD)%20is%20a%20mental%20health,uncontrollable%20thoughts%20about%20the%20event.]</ref> | |||
In the [[Spiddlekick Interview]], Daniel says that he is more of the belief that he has PTSD over autism. It is unknown why he thinks this, but a docket from the [[Second Jail Arc]] substantiates his diagnosis.{{Citation Needed}} It is called into question what caused his PTSD, whether it be alleged claims of abuse from his childhood, or a completely different event entirely. | |||
