A hebephrenic is a person suffering from hebephrenia. Hebephrenia is an outdated term for one of the classifications of schizophrenia. Behaviors associated with hebephrenia are: - extreme anti-social behavior - incoherent shrieking - self-mutilation - ingesting feces

Hebephrenia is the real-world inspiration for the Hollywood definition of 'madness'. Hebephrenic subjects can be absolutely terrifying to observers. This category of schizophrenia is usually associated with a disrupted or incomplete stage of childhood.
