I really wish people wouldn't try to diagnose others they've never met and know next to nothing about with mental illnesses over the internet. First of all, none of you would be qualified to do that in person, either. But more importantly, people who have no mental illness and are psychologically "normal" (for lack of a better word) are susceptible to bad ideas and conspiracies, because we are imperfectly evolved simians with brains that aren't disposed to functioning exactly as we might all wish they would.
It's not particularly helpful to the stigma that people who are actually diagnosed with a mental illness deal with to have everyone lumping in people who believe in conspiracy nonsense with them.
