John Hinckley Jr. was diagnosed with a delusional disorder, specifically a type of psychosis that involved significant delusions and a fixation on actress Jodie Foster. Following his assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan in 1981, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. His mental health issues were characterized by a distorted perception of reality, which influenced his actions. Hinckley spent several years in psychiatric care before being released under strict conditions.
