The fact that Max was genuinely invested in Gwen’s story only for him to throw it away immediately once he was told it was plagiarism and Gwen basically used OCs as a self-insert will never not be funny to me.
He was basically mesmerized over a romantic movie script. Never forget that. 
Disclaimer: I am by no means a mental health professional. This is just a meta-analysis.
What do we think of when we think of David?
His values of kindness. Optimism. Hope. Conviction. Passion. His drive to do his best every single day. The way he always makes an effort to reach out to others.
But also:
Attachment issues. People pleaser. Rose-colored glasses wearer. And at times, though the fandom doesn’t want to acknowledge it — Selfish. Unstable. Rude. Hypocritical. Kind of a dick.
See this video I made;
He’s complex, so let’s try to unpack him, and figure out what he’s got going on under that floof.
On David’s Childhood
David has been through a number of traumatic events in his childhood, most notably:
Witnessing Jasper fall to his near-death.
Finding Jasper, and being almost mauled by bears during the escape.
Clown school was apparently very bad, given the flashback-like reaction he had when it was mentioned. I’m unsure of his age when this occurred, however.
The fight with Jasper at the cave before they parted ways.
Losing Jasper. He says Cameron told him he was picked up by his parents, but I’m not convinced it’s not just his mind trying to erase painful memories.
As far as what we don’t necessarily see in the show, but can infer, David’s father was either not present or not great. He dreamt Cameron was his real father, as seen below.
And we all know Cameron is an awful father figure to begin with.
Yet, that’s better to David, apparently, than whatever he had at home. Which implies it was likely a pretty bad situation.
This can also be backed up by his attachment to the camp — growing up (and even now) it seems to be more of a home to him than his actual home.
That’s a home that hasn’t ever been mentioned, by the way. Contrary to Gwen, we know absolutely nothing about his family. He hasn’t talked about them once, if I recall correctly.
David is often open with emotions, if not wearing his heart on his sleeve. So why would he never mention his family and home?
We know why.
Even as an adult, he has retained this attachment to Cameron (who has in turn, continued to use this attachment to his benefit). He gets very excited about helping Cameron change in “keep the change” — because he needs to believe people who hurt him can get better. Otherwise, it’s too painful to bear.
The Loss Of Jasper
Part of his childhood, but significant enough to warrant its own section.
Jasper and David had a very interesting relationship. We’ve seen in the past that David was pessimistic, foulmouthed, and hot-tempered, directly compared to an optimistic, peppy, popular Jasper.
But then Jasper saw Cameron’s real self, and David received a modicum of praise for what was likely the first time based on his reaction. And so, they basically did somewhat of a switcheroo.
(David takes on many traits of Jasper after this experience, showing that he does admire him at the end of the day. I believe these traits are the foundation of David’s many masks.)
Despite the whole shebang, further episodes show us that they form a strong bond (or maintain one, we don’t know what happened before the first Jasper and David episode.)
What makes this friendship especially crucial in David’s development is that I believe Jasper was the first person to truly stand up for David.
David is, as we have seen, easily manipulated. Jasper picks up on this, and knowing Cameron’s just trying to use his best friend, tries to take Cameron down.
Jasper essentially died trying to protect David.
If Jasper hadn’t died, I don’t think David would have ended up as gullible and dependent as he is. If he had the more rational and realistic Jasper by his side during the rest of his developmental years, I believe things would have ended up much, much differently.
With Jasper’s death, there seems to be nobody else at camp who knows of Cameron’s crimes, or possibly, doesn’t want to speak out about them. Nobody to stand up for him. Nobody to redirect him.
So there’s nobody to stop the unhealthy-attachment-train from picking up speed.
Cameron And David’s Relationship
Cameron is manipulative and abusive towards David. This even becomes physical:
Despite this, David continues to idolize him as is seen in many cases of abuse. He works his ass off maintaining Cameron’s camp. Cameron’s approval makes or breaks him, because this is the man he sees as a father, unfortunately.
In addition, David is unable to let go of the hope that Cameron can change, because he’s convinced himself that deep down Cameron is still “good”, based on his skewed perception of him. And we all know how that ended.
But as Diane from Bojack Horseman once said —
And that is David’s problem — he wants so much for there to be a “deep down”, that there will be a day where Cameron showers him with praise and throws signed adoption forms at him, etcetera.
He judges Cameron not on who he actually is, but who he wants him to be. And so, the unhealthy attachment remains.
(Which is, of course, incredibly destructive to his mental health.)
Other Things We Know About His Mental Health, From Canon
We know he takes meds.
We know he has (sometimes dissociative) panic attacks.
We know he has been seen to suddenly snap, even to the point of violence.
My Final Conclusion: C-PTSD
(As the trauma has been not just one event, but many over the course of his life, and among other reasons, I believe CPTSD fits better than PTSD.)
Harrison what did you think of the time max just went crazy on the obstacles
and did the fact that he started gymnastics surprise you
and for max are you still as flexible as you used to be
Harrison: Well, it was definitely a surprise, I don't think anyone at camp was expecting him to climb up the rope and start doing cartwheels and flips up that obstacle course, I was actually pretty impressed
Max: it wasn't that impressive, I could do much better now
Harrison: so you are still that flexible?
Max: Well, I haven't exactly done gymnastics in a bit.. but I did some competitions in high school, get me some still rings, a high bar, and a vault board, and I'll show you something, actually impressive

THE INTERNET DEMANDS MOOOOOOORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAMPERS.
Especially Ella because with that name she sounds precious.
Wow your my first ask on this blog in a long while, I have a list buried in my google doc notes from last year so I'll give you some I can remember off the top my head how about it? So consider this part one
So you asked about Ella, very artsy creative girl, she has a problem with paying attention but she's a sweetheart, she has like big mismatching colourful socks and sketchers light up shoes, wears a blue long sleeve shirt with a orange short shirt on top because of the camp, her hairs pink and frizzy and you could definitely find leafs and twigs in there, she goes to writing camp, she makes cute poems and stories about the forest animals, she really likes junior camp counsellor nikki she thinks she's fun
Scout is David's niece she's the oldest camper there, she's definitely the most responsible camper there and she's very relaxed, gives alot of big sister energy, she actually doesn't technically have a camp as she's just staying with David for the summer because her parents are working overseas, not that she minds she likes her uncle, she sometimes sneaks into the woods at night to...ahem...smoke the devil's lettuce, its possibly the reason she's so relaxed with all the antics
Carlos and Connor two wild child twin brothers that go to adventure camp, both brown haired with green eyes, you can tell them apart because Carlos is covered in freckles and Connor doesn't have any freckles, Carlos wears green coloured things while Connor wears red coloured things, Connor wants to find ghosts and solve mystery while Carlos would rather make up a new language and discover secret places no one knows about, they disagree alot but they come as a pair they even have a secret handshake
Bailey, she's there for music camp and she hates it, she has the worst stage fright and she doesn't even want to be at camp, her mother is a Broadway star and she's expected by her family to have that same talent, she's a shy young girl who can't find her voice to stand up for herself, she doesn't find it all bad though, she finds some of the kids nice, she has purple hair and heterochromia, one eye being brown and one eye being blue,
Dustin, he's a bit of a dick, he's Cameron Campbell and miss priss's eldest son, he goes to sports camp, he looks alot like his mom, he's a troublemaker that not even his parents can reel in and he bully's the other campers with no mercy, the only time he actually felt BAD about his bullying was when he gave one if the other campers a concussion with a basketball, he never purposely causes physical harm, the worst he'll do is mean words or maybe a light push, people like Scout say he's probably doing all of this for attention to stand out from his brothers and sister

You made OC campers? EEEK Tell us more! The internet desires info about everything....
Hi yes, blog runner here, they aren't exactly ocs but characters that needed to exist for blog reasons as it's an 11 year time skip, but I do have a outline or names for them if your interested
We have Cameron Campbell's kids which there are 4 of them, none of which have names or camps assigned to them yet, or personalities but they are there
There are the twins mentioned in the previous post that go to the adventure camp, both boys named Connor and Carlos, if they had a personality I imagine I'd base them off my younger twin brothers Dominic and Darius
Also there's Ella who's there for writing camp, she would be like a Luna lovegood like character,
Then there's Scout, I don't have a camp for her or anything else yet but I do want her to be related to David in someway, maybe a niece
Another character that doesn't have a name yet but it's a girl that's there for music camp but she has stage fright
Obviously there's gonna be more then that but it really all depends on how many questions I get about the actual current camp
Cameron Campbell, if you were to transform into a werewolf, how would you react, what would you do, and what would be the funnest thing you would do as a werewolf
Cameron Campbell: oh, that's an interesting question, I don't actually know, I could probably scare a good amount of people into giving me money
David: how could I ever pick a favorite camper! I love them all equally!
Gwen:....we've had some good ones over the last couple years, honestly I'd have to say, Max, Space kid, and one of our new campers this year, Ella who goes to writing camp, she's a good kid
Nikki: uh...am I allowed to say mine? I like the twins Carlos and Connor, there both here for adventure camp
Cameron Campbell: obviously I'm gonna pick my kids that go here currently

Hey max Neil or Nikki do you have a favorite camper if you do who?
Max: fuck you, I'm tired, I'm trying to go to the bathroom, so fuck this question, I'm picking two! Nikki and Neil and you know damn well why!
------------------------------------
Neil: I'm guessing I can only choose one, I'd say...max, he knows my boundaries and what buttons he shouldn't push, he'd also be quiet during my experiments which was helpful, he'd also carry around a spare Inhaler for me Incase of a asthma attack, he pretends he doesn't care but I know he's go to the end of the world and back for me and Nikki....it's almost.....scary, how quickly he'll drop his own needs for us-
----------------------
Nikki: Ered! Because it's E. R. E. D. Duh! How can I not think she's the best!
