by that logic, no one would have any disease at all, because any time you show a certain psychological issue, "it could also be part of a totally different illness". As soon as someone shows a certain ammount of syndromes, he's diagnosted with a certain illness. Sure he can also have several other illnesses, but that's not the point here, is it?

Anyway, again, I never claimed that he has shizophrenia.

The chin-rubbing is a sign that he's currently feeling uncomfortable or lies, which was stated already, and it was stated several times when he was still Kaneki as well. Therefore, when he told Arima "I'm living a happy life", he was lieing. And he did stuff like this a lot, so it's already stated that he isn't happy with his curent life.

If Kaneki wants to form bonds but isn't able to, that would be another trait of shizophrenia, so that one doesn't matter as well. Also he just said he wanted to protect those who are close to him, who are already close to him. He's not trying neither showing to want to form any new bonds.

And again, to clarify it: It doesn't matter why he has hallucinations, lack of emotions and all that. It only matter that he has them.

That said, there are several illnesses which could suit him, but currently, shizophrenia is the most likely one, since there are still dozens of valid points I made as well as several other traits of shizophrenia which he has shown. And I already said myself that it could be something else as well.
