he is purely a case of Munchhausen//factitious disorder person, who malingers and really plays it up for any audience he can, and always goes out of his way to create an audience, and the victimhood mentality. i mean, yes, that is all mental illness, and people who are like this will do anything to self induce illness or injury, or will do things to make themselves seem, ill and or disabled. oh i fully believe he also has narcissistic personality disorder, were talking grandiose ; and i think because he wants someone to take care of him so badly, he seems to be fitting on ''dependent personality disorder' as well because of the intensity of that; but i still do not pity him because plenty of mentally ill people out there get treatment and therapy and learn to work through, cope and over come as much as possible in healthy ways. as far as bashing the head, yep, some people who are ill will do that out of frustration, some manics will, some bipolar folks in severe cases that have major up and down swings, some schizophrenics are known to self injure because in effort to stop the voices or visual hallucinations even if for a brief moment. he was DX'd as schizo-effective which he likely does have, because he is delusional, but he does not suffer hallucinations like a full blown SZ person does.
