Theories around mental health
The widely accepted theory surrounding Chip-Chan is that she is mentally ill. Most commonly, parallels have been drawn between her behavior and the symptoms of Paranoia and Paranoid Schizophrenia. Common symptoms include : One criticism against this theory is that Paranoid Schizophrenics in general does not like being watched, and go into hiding because of it. Therefore a Paranoid Schizophrenic would be unlikely to install cameras in their home and live stream their life 24/7.
 * Paranoid delusions (believing everyone is out to cause the sufferer harm)
 * Withdrawing from family or friends.
 * A significant decline in self-care.
 * Persistent, unusual thoughts or beliefs.

Additionally, Narcolepsy has been suggested to explain her odd sleep-wake cycles and tendency to abruptly fall asleep in uncomfortable positions. Chip-Chan expresses dismay over never having dreams, and narcolepsy is known to interfere with REM-sleep. Critics of this theory would point out that people with narcolepsy fall asleep for short periods of time, usually minutes, while Chip-Chan sleeps for many hours at a time, often 12+ hours.
