(10,039 posts)Is "cult mentality." How ill is a person who is brainwashed into something that is acceptable by parts of our culture? Points of view can be considered crazy, but if a person is taught paranoia, what then can we do? (I consider Fox News watchers cult members by the way.) This particular person appears to be trying to make her own cult of sorts (while failing at it) and that's why there's such a negative reaction here.
It comes back down to the opinion that these sorts of people, "aren't right in the head." Which isn't off base, but I think cultists are in their own category. The likeliness that they'll all be helped and treated is next to nil. In that sense, they aren't really part of the mental health community. Unless they cross that invisible line where they say they're Captain Picard of the starship Enterprise. And even then, we can't be sure that's crazy.
