Go get a doctrine and let us know.

 

[BiC Fist]

It's unlikely. Anything is possible though... Maybe Joe Rogan is spot on with EVERY conspiracy theory of which he speaks.

 

[soulsstealer]

TS you need to work on your psychology degree.

 

[sirmorbach]

Do you even know what schizophrenia means?

 

[Vegesus44]

Even if he was , who cares, hes awesome and we love him just the way he is!

 

[yaheyyosurveysays]

its not that un common

so it wouldnt be a huge deal

 

[Sparkie]

No
he has been hit more than a few times in the head
and he's not crazy about shooting the shit with the media

what in that interview would lead you to think schizophrenia?

 

[campbecc]

he kind of rambles but that's not tangential speech. It takes more than just tangential speech to diagnose schizophrenia anyway, and you have to remember that is him on camera where he is obviously uncomfortable. I would stutter like an idiot if I were talking on television.

 

[blazerkor]

That is one of the secondary diagnosis criteria in the DSM. So that is a very disjointed piece of speculation by you. Nick isn't the most articulate guy but he has never seemed delusional or seemed to respond to any kind hallucinations. He doesn't even seem to qualify as a schyzotypal personality. He actually seems like a very smart guy who may be a little under-educated and tends to be too open about the experience of being a fighter.

 

[nanika]

nope. he just smokes a ton of weed while getting punched for a living. honestly prob not a great combo but hes made more money than most people from stockton.

I'm no psychologist, but I am a high school teacher, so I do deal a little with this stuff.

From everything I've seen, Nick doesn't show any signs of schizophrenia.

He has some clear social anxiety issues, and very likely has a touch of oppositional defiant disorder.

But even these are not particularly sever. On the large stage, under the bright lights, these issues are magnified.

But people with severe anxiety disorders won't even talk in front of a group of three or four strangers, let alone speaking at a press conference, and certainly aren't going to show up to publicly perform or compete in front of a crowd, especially if failure is a real possibility.

And people with sever oppositional defiant disorder don't become expert level anything because they don't learn squat from teachers or coaches. In fact, most of them end up in jail.

The Diaz brothers have their issues, but those issues are far overblown, and the fact is they've dealt with them extremely well in life.

The likes of Jon Jones (clear narcissist) and Rampage Jackson (anti-social) and "War Machine" (psychopath) could learn a lot from the Diaz brothers about getting over themselves and getting their shit together.

(I'd throw Mayhem in, but I think his issues are legitimately beyond his control.)
