John Nash

Atypical- John Nash showed atypical behavior when he began imagining things such as Charles and his other hallucinations.

Disturbing- John Nash's actions were disturbing when you would have conversations and interact with his hallucinative counterparts. Other people would be disturbed by this because people typically don't have furious arguments with nothing.

Maladaptive- John Nash not taking his medication was maladaptive becaus the medication was given to him so he would stop seeing the hallucinations and be able to live normally without seeing the delusions.

Unjustifiable-  John Nash leaving the baby unattended in the bath could be seen as unjustifiable because leaving a baby alone to drown doesn't have much reasoning. Even though he believed that somebody was watching the baby seeing the people that really didn't exist there still isn't very good reasoning for believing this.
