Whats Wrong With Him?

He's definitely not schizophrenic. Mel Gibson has always had nervous tics, like rubbing his face and tugging on his arm hair. He's also always been a bundle of energy and pulled faces. Back at the time when Maverick was released, Jodie Foster called him something like "the tic-y-est person alive."
An interview from 1985 shows him doing the same stuff he does today: rubbing his face, wiggling his eyebrows, licking his lips,and making jerky head movements.
As an actor, he's actually gotten better at removing them from his performances as he's gotten older.
Are they worsening in real life? I'm not sure. He is much more nervous now when giving interviews than in the 80s and 90s, for good reason. If you're talking about Greg Laurie's interview at the SoCal Harvest, that was Mel at his most nervous because he's in front of a religious audience of tens of thousands.
When he's relaxed, the tics aren't so prominent.
Take a look at these very recent interviews in Australia where Mel is energetic without being nervous. -

Yeah. The SoCal interview was the one that I was looking at recently. He looked and behaved very strange. He actually resembles a family member of mine who is a schizophrenic and on meds. The meds allow him to function as a human and he is intelligent and able to communicate, but he can't really hold a job or have a relationship.

It's sad. His problems only got worse after the controversy. I imagine going up on stage like at GG might feel like you have a red dot on your forehead when you're so despised by the industry.

I may be wrong, but I think 60 years of hard drinking and Hollywood lifestyle do that to you. And yes, his bearing is not normal.

Well I am religious. I also think being atheist is a bit of a current hipster fad. Kind of like growing a big lumberjack beard, just for the heck of it, but never really going out in the wilderness because you're afraid of mosquitoes and not having a real toilet with running water.

So, not believing in a fictionalized deity is a fad? God, the bible and every other religion in modern and ancient history are all fictionalized. They were created by man and women.
That's not the definition of a fad if you don't believe in something that isn't real.
It's called reality. i don't believe in Santa Clause either. -

The act of trivializing, disrespecting, and dispelling other peoples' deepest beliefs which can bring them a lot of comfort and strength in their most desperate situations should be a fad.

Being religious has always been a fad too. How about being neither and just be what you "really are.
