He had schizophrenia. Whether that would have happened without LSD is hard to say. He obviously had a propensity toward it and hallucinogens opened the door.

I've heard that he had Asperger's Syndrome.

Syd made Floyd what it is, He was the fuel and he burned out before they got where they were going. He's ingenious will live on forever.
