Chuck's mental illness completely destroyed him

Hamlin was willing to move on, and agreed that everyone makes mistakes. howard was sure that the documents said 1261 but he didn't see them, so he just thought chuck was being insane.

once howard tried affirming that everyone makes mistakes, chuck thinks that Howard thinks hes insane, and not having the sensitivity. Howard questioned his mental health and intellect without taking in consideration this fake sensitivity, so chuck's major spiral downward begins. Chuck's ego was hurt from this incident.

To make it worse, the chicanery incident completely destroyed his ego, as Jimmy disproves his condition as being physical and shows that it's a mental disorder.

chuck never wanted to think that there is something mentally wrong with him and thought the sensitivity is something physical that can eventually go away. Once it was confirmed mental, he probably assumed he won't be able to get it out of his head. He believed he will die with it and no one will take him serious ever again.

If he wanted to, he could've retired and took his part of HHM and leave the community as a respected lawyer. This was what Jimmy was trying to push all along, from the first episode.

Instead, he wanted to prove to everyone he is not mentally ill to retain what he think he's lost (respect) so he continuously pushes himself to spend time in the office.

Howard had too much respect and class to disobey chuck, so he listened to him and let him take an "extended sabbatical".

TL;DR/conclusion

In the end, Chuck's story resembles Walt's a lot, as they both would have had a chance to retire in peace with the respect of everyone around them but instead their ego could not accept it so it led to their miserable downfalls. Only difference was the physical nature of their deaths, but they did have similar decisions.
