The case for Luigi Mangione having schizophrenia: Mangione's sudden withdrawal from social interactions and family contact aligns with patterns seen in individuals experiencing the onset of schizophrenia. In fact nobody, not even his own family, knows where he was. The last time his mother spoke to him was July 1, and she thought he was in San Francisco (which probably wasn't the case). She eventually filed a missing persons report and hired a private investigator to find him. Prior to his disappearence, there is no indication that he had any extreme radical beliefs. What I saw from his few Twitter posts is pretty typical for a high-IQ "tech-bro" type of man in his twenties (even if most midwit offline people aren't familiar with that kind of stuff). Everybody who knew him can't believe that he would commit a crime like this. I say that the radical change in his personality from a mild-mannered intellectual tech-bro to crazy assassin is caused by the psychotic delusions of schizophrenia. His Reddit posts detailed struggles with "brain fog," which is often a precursor or early symptom of schizophrenia. His Reddit posts also talked about his problems with "visual snow," which I found particularly interesting. Not only are visual snow and other strange visual oddities often an early symptom of schizophrenia, the following three likely schizophrenic murderers also complained about visual oddities prior to their crimes: James Holmes (2012 Aurora theater shooting), Andreas Lubitz (the pilot who intentionally crashed Germanwings Flight 9525), and Bryan Christopher Kohberger (2022 University of Idaho killings). The peak age of onset for schizophrenia in men is 21 to 25. I cannot find Mangione's exact birthdate, but he is reported to be born in 1998 so was probably 25 when he disappeared earlier this year, which is probably when he first started having psychotic delusions. But if he had just turned 26 before then, still close enough. They say that Mangione had a "manifesto" but it was just a 262-word handwritten note. I say that if not for the thought disorder and disorganized thinking that is said to accompany schizophrenia, a high-IQ guy like Luigi Mangione would surely have written something a lot more profound than a 262-word note that explains why he did what he did. All attempts to create a more rational revenge motive for Mangione have come up completely short, in my opinion. They said he wanted revenge against United Healthcare because of a botched surgery or because they overbilled him or wouldn't cover his necessary medical care. But that has all turned out to be false. Mangione comes from a very rich family and has no need to worry about him or anyone in his family not being able to afford healthcare. If anything, his family owns nursing homes so he's actually a beneficiary of the greedy healthcare industry rather than a victim of it. He has a literal trust from his decamillionaire grandmother. Also, he was not even insured by UHC. Also, he wrote on Reddit that his surgery was a success and his pain went away. Earlier this year he was hiking around Thailand and the people who were with him who talked to reporters say they didn't observe him having any physical problems. Finally, there was his outburst to reporters as he was being escorted into the Blair County, Pennsylvania, courthouse. He sounded like a crazy person to me.
