Just finished devil and daniel johnston what the fuck was his

>>83910683
he's schizophrenic, the violent kind too. his brain is so messed up that he needs medication to keep him in a state of near catatonia so that he doesnt harm himself and others. they must have addressed that in the documentary?

Bad upbringing plus weapons grade schizophrenia. His parents are at fault for a lot of it.

>>83910683
and also he isn't a savant. he seems like a sweet guy but the only reason he's famous is because people were fascinated by his personality (early schizophrenia before he became violent). most of his best songs are rip offs of beatles songs.

>>83910683
you know, they explain it in the documentary

>>83911312
just out of curiosity, how are his parents to blame? there's not much a parent can do about schizophrenia.

you're wrong

>>83910683
Schizoaffective disorder would be my guess, with the resultant cognitive impairment that comes with that and long-term anti-psychotic use.

How was it his parents' fault?

"muh prayer" instead of getting him medical help.

His family didn't even try to get him committed to a hospital even after he became homeless because "muh jesus" and "muh bootstrap american self-reliance."
