I'm just worried about people going down rabbit holes. No one is immune to getting paranoid on the internet
That's not how schizophrenia is precipitated. Schizophrenic delusions are highly personal, e.g. "I literally am Jeffrey Epstein" or "CIA agents are stalking my home because I know too much about Epstein". They differ fundamentally from "ordinary" conspiracy theories.
I'm using the word clinically, not as an ableist pejorative. I have loved ones with the illness.
Apologies. Edited.
I wouldn't know what to call it, but it is defiantly a thing, people getting a bit too deep into weird stuff on the internet to the point it starts negatively affecting their lives.
Delusions are what I think you want, and it isn't specific to any diagnosis.
