I wonder if Howard is actually suffering from a diagnosable psychotic disorder. He appears to be delusional - and not as a figure of speech. Delusional in the clinical sense.
Hearing Howard’s words, juxtaposed to what was written to him, is pretty bonkers. He thinks he’s a genius that can reinvent math, and he gets super defensive at any polite and candid feedback of his bizarre work.
l just completed my psych rotation, if this case came up on an exam id say type B personality disorder (narcissistic type) combined with delusional disorder (primarily grandiose) he 100% has a mental health disorder. its possible he’s bipolar too (type 2)
I know diagnosing someone off random internet videos is a silly thing to do, but every time this dude pops up in the news, my brain jumps to “there is something significant in the DSM for this guy.”
