The most serious case of delusional positive thinking I have seen is my neighbor across the hall. When I first met her and hung out with her, went into her place and saw her "style, I got a strong sense that she had been "institutionalized". It turns out I was right. The biggest clue? The inspirational slogans she had up on the walls and everywhere, including a "Failure is not an option" bumper sticker on the back of her laptop. She's a big fan of bumper sticker style inspiration. It's rather sad to see, really.
