<<Supposedly the feeling that one is disappearing is a sign of schizophrenia, and Holden describes this feeling several times in the novel. No matter how angsty someone is, I don't think it's normal for that person to feel as if she or he is physically disappearing, so I buy into the schizophrenia argument. He also talks out loud to Allie a lot, despite being something of an atheist. Would this indicate a problem as well?
