    My brother in law is like that. He’s been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and his drivers license has been suspended after an unrelated episode 10 years ago. He’s harmless, and perfectly capable of getting it unsuspended if he puts in some effort, but he can’t because:

    • His doctor is out to sabotage his life
    • Someone is tapping into his phone
    • This lady on the other side of town is stealing his mail
    • His PC had been bugged

    …allegedly.

    He sometimes takes his meds, but it’s rare. Those are the days when he’s out and about and reasonably normal.
