I saw on the news that the gymnast Shawn johnson had a crazed fan after her that traveled from California to Florida where she was on set for "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC. He was captured and was found with a gun, duct tape and love letters and told police that Shawn was speaking to him through the television and that she was meant to have his child. What is this? Schizophrenia?
In response to Nathan K:
Schizoid is something entirely different than Schizotypal, which is what this story is describing.
Schizoid means that a person chooses not to partake in social contact - they do not have hallucinations or any other sort of abnormality besides being generally apethetic toward life and choosing to be alone all the time.
Schizotypal results in superstitions and ideas of reference (which is what is portrayed in this story.
Probably a mix-bag of schizophrenia, something like
Schizoid, along with Audio (but no visual, hence the need for stimulus from the television) Hallucinations.
I say schizoid because of the fact that love letters were present, and probably a whole lot of them, I take it.
Also- you typed HE was captured, rather than SHE.
obsessive compulsive
