'''Schizophrenia''' | '''Schizophrenia''' is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and [[delusions]].<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia</ref> His mother has confirmed him having schizophrenia, just like many other of his mental disorders. In additional, to him taking [https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-155134/latuda-oral/details Latuda], a schizophrenia medication, he often shows delusions, such as believing himself to be in a relationship with several celebrities, believing himself to be in contention with [[Jacob Sartorius]], and most notably, believing himself to be a celebrity. Daniel has also had episodes of psychosis, believing himself to be watched or being shot at. | ||
In reference to delusions, Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution. For example, Daniel, at one point, believed himself to be followed by several white vans to a point where he stowed away in a gas station out of fear of being hurt. During the [[UCLA Arc]], Daniel was under the impression that the Chinese government was watching him, after a troll pretending to be a student mentioned having talked to the government. Furthermore, he thought himself to have been poisoned by staff after eating a [[Red Robin Poisoning|Red Robin]]. After being released from the hospital, his discharge papers described him as having "delusional ideas". | In reference to delusions, Daniel is known to have delusions of grandeur, as well as delusions of persecution.
