'''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> | '''Post-traumatic stress disorder''', or '''PTSD''', is a mental health condition that's triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it.

It is unknown why he thinks this, but a docket report from the [[Jail Arc]] substantiates this diagnosis. It is called into question what caused his PTSD, whether it be alleged claims of physical, mental and/or sexual abuse from his childhood, or a completely different event entirely. | ||

The one mental failing that debilitates Daniel most is his downright refusal to adapt to his environment and accept help when he needs it. This stubbornness, more than anything else, is what makes him so frustrating to watch. While Daniel has expressed several times that he desires help for his several problems, whenever he is offered help, he always refuses it when it does not align with his delusions. During a conversation with his manager [[Ox]], when he was informed that every time he spoke to "Grace" he was speaking to a troll, he seemed to only acknowledge it in order to get Ox to stop talking to him. Daniel complains multiple times about not receiving help, even though he has received multiple items such as changes of clothes and hygiene products (which he often throws away), as well as large amounts of money because of the hospitality of others. | The one mental failing that debilitates Daniel most is his downright refusal to adapt to his environment and accept help when he needs it.

It is very obvious that Daniel values his [[delusions]] over his own wellbeing, because if he actually chose to accept the help of others, and follow the rules of establishments and places he stays at, he would have been in housing a very long time ago, or even more, not [[Homeless Era|homeless]] at all. | It is very obvious that Daniel values his [[delusions]] over his own wellbeing, because if he actually chose to accept the help of others, and follow the rules of establishments and places he stays at, he would have been in housing a very long time ago, or even more, not [[Homeless Era|homeless]] at all. | ||
