Josh has said before in one of his streams (I think during second apartment saga) that he has a diagnosis of schizophrenia among other things. His father Clint had went back to college to study psychology when Josh was a child so he could understand his needs better.I never used to think, but after the tribute stream from his father. He probably had an undiagnosed or not properly treated schizoaffective disorder. If he responded to unseen stimuli, something was going on. But he grew up in Wyoming, in the 90's and not to insult Clint. Maybe Clint had poor mental health literacy regarding proper treatment for his son.
The hallucinations weren't limited to just hearing praise. During the tribute Clint said there was a time Josh thought he heard a lady insult him, but she actually never said anything.
I had been watching a lot of old videos of Josh, particularly of him talking about magic and summoning demons. When he would do a chi ball he would talk about seeing something there. When he would talk about summoning his inner demon he would talk about how his eyes would start changing color to red and ask the viewers if they saw it too, and how he had it caught on film. There were a lot of things like that he would say, and how he caught it on camera.
This was during the first apartment saga, I do remember at one point he said he did not have that diagnosis during that era so he must have gotten it sometime later.
