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 bipolar, as in multiple of them, he is seen exhibiting psychotic behaviors.
