He was first admitted to a psychiatric hospital at the age of 23 and has been in and out of local and state hospitals for treatment 22 times in the last 40 years. Between hospitalizations, he lived in various living arrangements, but he has since settled into the institution and has become a well-known resident. In the institution, he cannot be directed. He goes where he wants when he wants. He leaves group settings without warning, and walks around the hospital visiting offices and people as he pleases. He carries pieces of paper with phone numbers, often with no names attached, and frequently the numbers are incomplete. He will hand these papers to people at random and demand that they call a number but he cannot say whom to ask for. If someone refuses, Dan gets irritated at the lack of cooperation. He rarely conducts a coherent conversation.
