> I’m not familiar with much of PKD’s works or his life story, but I honestly can’t tell if he had mental health problems

Oh he almost certainly had mental health problems. He experienced hallucinations and delusions[1], including an intelligent pink beam of light. He wrote about some of these in an autobiographical way in VALIS[2].
