You get more insight into the Chief's mental state when reading since he is the narrator of the novel. It's been a few years but if I recall correctly, he went to the institution from basically symptoms of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, he describes that he used to hear voices from the sky and hallucinated seeing things. That the medication he takes (implied to be thorazine or valium or both) cures his voices but now sees everything as if in third person through a dense white fog, unable to do anything but silently shuffle around (which is why the scene where he picks up the machine is so surprising) alternating with periods of being totally catatonic and dissociated from being able to move or talk while still perceiving everything around him. His dilemma is that he needs some kind of medical treatment but what they are giving him in the hospital is arguably worse than being unmedicated, but he's too tranquilized to take earlier opportunities to escape. As the reader you can tell he is highly intelligent and perceptive from how he describes events but MacMurphy is the only one in the mental ward who realizes he's not "stupid" just because he is quiet and freezes. It's a pretty good depiction of the negative symptoms and the feeling of being on too high of a dose of antipsychotics from what i've been told, though often paradoxically reversed in that catatonia will happen when flooded with dopamine during the nadir of the manic or psychotic states and overmedication while compensating for that you get the involuntary movements from TD, parkinsonism or punding.
