You are correct that any internet diagnosis will always be suspect (I, myself, have long had doubts about Chris' autism - some things about it just don't fit), and the only 100% accurate diagnosis you can make of Chris online is RFUD (really fucked up disorder), but I am applying occam's razor in this instance. If Chris really does believe he's having actual real two way conversations with cartoon skunks, schizophrenia is the most common disorder that would account for that. And he fits a lot of the other diagnosis criteria as well.DangDirtyTrolls said:We don't have the ability to diagnose Chris over the internet, why are you presuming he has schizophrenia?A-№1 said:Schizophrenia can be a very complex disorder. Chris could invent the conversation as a way of shaming Megan, and then, because he believes that his made up conversation with a cartoon skunk went the way it should have happened in real life, after the fact decide that the conversation really did happen after all. Schizophrenia can affect memory just as it can affect perceptions.
Admittedly Chris' behavior could be indicative of other possible disorders like delusional or borderline personality or a whole soup of issues all mixed together, but for talking cartoon skunks, schizophrenia is the goto diagnosis.
Schizophrenia can actually be a relatively mild disorder or extremely serious depending on the severity of the individual case. It's also not anything like how it's commonly portrayed in popular media (which usually gets it mixed up with dissociative identity).That is quite a serious disorder and not one to be thrown around lightly.
Edit: I think I speak for everyone here when I say that I would very much like to see the results from a 5150 on Chris. Putting him through 72 hours of what he would consider hell is a bonus (A-Log)
