The deciding factor: The Veteran's condition is manifested by symptoms such as auditory/visual hallucination, persistent suicidal ideation, intermittent inability to perform activities of daily living, grossly inappropriate behavior, and gross impairment in thought process, which approximates a level contemplated by total occupational and social impairment.
