No one is after you Josh! |

| — Josh and Mr. Based | ||
It is well known that Josh has autism which results in stimming, significant learning disabilities, difficulty reading emotions and social cues, and odd behavioral patterns. He also is afflicted with paranoia, believing there are people lurking everywhere waiting to get his passport or murder/kidnap/arrest him. Many believe that he may have bipolar disorder due to his sudden and frequent mood swings, or possibly schizophrenia as he has had hallucinations in the past and has believed that men were after him with knives.
Josh is also afflicted with alcoholism and a strong nicotine addiction that he satisfies by regular smoking, vaping, and zyn use. He has also used galaxy gas in the past which resulted in him hallucinating bright flashes of light.
Paranoia
Josh is always in a constant state of paranoia, and holds a belief that there are people everywhere waiting to steal his phone, passport, money or personal effects. This possibly stems from trolls, who frequently harass or threaten him, and leak his location.
Sudden Rage
Josh is known to fly into a furious rage within seconds, which usually ends with him throwing or smashing objects, or hitting/kicking/biting someone. One notable example is the Thanksgiving Meltdown.
Hallucinations
In some past instances, Josh has experienced hallucinations (Notably the "Make it stop" Incident and the Galaxy Gas streams).
