My brother Blake and I,
we used to be best friends.
We used to have that twin bond,
and we don't anymore.
I don't think you truly understand
what you're putting our family through.
I do understand what I'm putting our family through
but I feel like you guys aren't quite understanding
how debilitating this is on me.
Blake's obsessive behavior has 100% gotten
in the way of our relationship.
I'm exhausted at constantly having to reassure Blake
that he does not have the disorders that he thinks he has.
Why did you think you had leukemia?
What was your symptom?
I was at work and I was feeling really weak.
Really weak, so you have leukemia for feeling weak.
Blake's a real bad hypochondriac.
Since Blake's symptoms came to life,
he's very unmotivated, he's super depressed,
he just has no life in him.
It's really, really sad to see him like that
because he's one of the most talented people I've ever met.
Ever since he started modeling,
that's kind of when this behavior started.
I don't know if it's the pressure of getting his looks
or appearance perfect but that's when the obsession started.
I just look at Blake now like he's very weak minded
and he just doesn't have a strong bone in his body.
I think you needing reassurance 24/7 is very weak.
I also think he just hasn't really figured out his life
and I feel like this compulsive behavior
is his way of coping with it.
He acts completely normal around other people.
He's able to go to work every day as a server.
His modeling agents love him.
His managers love him, everyone loves him.
It's like he hides his schizophrenia thing at work
but then it all at home, it's bizarre.
We're your family.
We know you more than anyone, more than anyone.
Okay but how does that rule out
me being schizophrenic then?
Because you're not.
I've tried to help Blake.
I've tried to get him to go
to the gym with me every morning.
Every single time I hang out with my friends,
I invite him just to get him out of the house
but he won't do it.
I'm pretty confident if Blake's behavior doesn't change,
we're not gonna have a relationship at all.
Well Chad, you're really frustrated with him.
Yeah, I'm really angry, not gonna lie.
What do you want him to do?
I want him to be Blake again,
I want him to be my twin again.
I want him to feel normal.
He thinks his life is over,
he thinks he has schizophrenia and that's that.
He thinks there's no way out of it.
It's so sad to see.
We used to do everything together.
Two and a half years, you were just full of life,
played jokes on people, always wanted to be
around your friends, travel the world,
you were full of life and it's like
somebody has sucked your soul from you, literally.
And it's sucking us dry.
So lifeless, so lifeless.
I don't have a sense of self and I look in the mirror
and I don't have a connection with myself in the mirror.
That must be really miserable to look
at yourself in the mirror.
(audience chuckles)
I mean, you're both so handsome,
I want to slap ya.
Thank you.
What's the funniest movie you've seen lately?
I'm a model so I love Zoolander,
that cracks me up.
That's definitely funny.
Step Brothers.
Step Brothers, yeah.
When was the last time you really laughed?
Um.
You laughed just a second ago.
Yeah.
My girlfriend made me laugh this morning.
Yeah, I said that there were
some problems with your theory.
You say there's no test for schizophrenia
but there are tests for it.
There are things that really determine whether someone
is schizophrenic, even a little bit or a lot or whatever
and for example, one of those things is
schizophrenics just really don't have a sense of humor.
They don't find anything funny
and they don't have the ability to speculate
about whether or not they have schizophrenia,
which you do.
And they have an inability to distinguish
between fantasy and reality.
And you do.
I know, there's been like, a few times where
I'll be at a bar and I'll look at a glass of wine
and in my head, I'll visualize it being poisoned,
even though I know it's not
and I would still drink it
but I'd be like, why would I even get that thought.
Is that schizophrenia even, is that schizophrenia
putting that stuff in my head?
