I don't think he is affected negatively due to society's perception of science.
His madness is, surely, a result of social pressures (he is a very junior scientist working for a professor who steals his students work), the pain of the process of becoming invisible, the shock of realising that becoming invisible is not the answer to his problems but merely the cause of much worse problems, and, perhaps, something he had even before becoming invisible. His actions after becoming invisible - setting the fire in his flat, leaving the shopkeeper tied up and alone - all seem to me to happen so quickly after his transformation indicate someone who had socipathic tendencies before being changed. He certainly becomes more and more insane the longer he is invisible, but is this because of the process, or because he was insane before and the power of his invisibility drives him further into madness?
I guess this isn't that helpful for you, but as I always say - a test where you score badly by arguing (effectively!) that the question is flawed ain't worth passing.
