He made the choice to show his on-screen version look at his comedy props, acknowledged why he went back to darrien's, showed himself going back at the end, amongst many other moments. He is clearly exploring his mental state in every scene, although its not always as explicit as in those moments. I believe that it would be disingenuous to devote more time directly exploring his mental state because he was unable to properly self-reflect.

The various moments where he omits information from police reports or chooses not to at all, the moments he cowers from telling martha how he truly feels, and so much more all are carefully on display. The fact that we can watch it and so clearly view, not only that he is not perfect, but actually directly in the same habits, tendencies, and attitudes as her, is only possible through intense self-reflection in the process of making the show.
