He also doesn't want to because of his aversion to general hygiene, with dental hygiene being the last thing he'd ever consider. As a result of his lack of money, insurance, and laziness, Daniel is not able to visit a dentist, crooked teeth going unstraightened. He visibly has a misshapen dental arch. His front 2 teeth are different sizes, possibly from unfixed crowding, and only his front 2 teeth are displayed while talking, possibly a sign of an overbite. | ||

[[Daniel and Mental Health|As noted]], Daniel has a less than positive relationship with his own mental health. He is significantly mentally ill, being diagnosed with Autism, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Daniel's mental health significantly impacts him, evidenced through his most notable trait, his [[delusions]]. It doesn't help either that he refuses to receive help for them, refusing therapists time and time again, and denying antipsychotics when prescribed to him. | |||
[[ | Daniel will engage in [[Self Harm|self-harm]] by banging his head on objects and hitting himself, usually when he is frustrated, having a [[Meltdowns|meltdown]], or when extremely agitated. Daniel has self-harmed many times, punching and slapping himself in the face in an attempt to voice his frustration. Even more dangerously, Daniel is known to have hit himself until he bled during the [[Panera Bread Incident|Panera Bread incident.]] Head banging and punching oneself while under duress is probably a result of autism, as about 30% of autistic children engage in these behaviors.<ref>https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/autism-self-harm/</ref> This may also be a result of bipolar disorder, as up to 50% of sufferers of the disorder exhibit self-harming behaviors and the resultant injuries.<ref>[https://mypsychiatrist.com/blog/psychiatric-disorders-at-risk-for-self-injury/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20about%2050,by%20psychosis%2C%20which%20feel%20uncontrollable. https://mypsychiatrist.com/blog/psychiatric-disorders-at-risk-for-self-injury/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20about%2050,by%20psychosis%2C%20which%20feel%20uncontrollable.]</ref> | ||
Daniel, being autistic and mentally ill, needs prescription medication to control himself. In spite of this, he refuses to fill his prescriptions largely because he is lazy and believes he doesn't need them (and mostly because they are too expensive for him to purchase due to his lack of budgeting skills). Daniel is currently prescribed Latuda and one other unknown medication. | |||
