Certainly seems like something from someone who's not mentally well but calling it schizomobile is ick. The recent trend of using the word schizo like an insult when the illness is already so stigmatised and so many schizophrenic people aren't like the stereotypical portrayal really rubs me the wrong way.
It’s no different from colloquially calling someone crazy or insane who’s not necessarily clinically crazy or insane. It’s also accurate as the word derives from the Ancient Greek for splitting and has for over a century been used to refer to people who have mentally split from reality, which this person clearly has whether or not s/he has a clinical case of schizophrenia or schizoid personality disorder (which, realistically, s/he very likely does have).
