Answer: Dominic is in the residual phase of schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder in which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling. People with schizophrenia require lifelong treatment.

The Residual Phase of Schizophrenia

The more intense symptoms, like hallucinations, start to fade. But you may still have some strange beliefs. You're also likely to withdraw into yourself and talk less. You might have trouble concentrating or keeping your thoughts straight.
