Tony has schizophrenia. He believes that he is the only true male on earth and that people don't really die, they just became other people, always female. Tony hears voices that say "Now he dies" and "Here's where he gets hurt." In addition, he reports having visual disturbances such as seeing streaks of light and after-images of people when they are no longer physically present. Based on these examples, Tony appears to suffer from schizophrenia, which is most strongly associated with O Type I; abnormal neurotransmitter activity O Type Il; abnormal neurotransmitter activity O Type I; abnormal brain structure O Type II; abnormal brain structure
