>I can relate too. I made a fool of myself due to erotomanic delusions. It wasn't due to Nardil though, but impulsive "manic" thinking played a crucial role.
There is just such a loss of critical thinking when you're manic (or otherwise pre-psychotic). Memantine emulates this kind of mania splendidly. Example: a couple of YouTube videos about a tennis player + an impulsive thought or two = starting to believe in karma; it made such intuitive sense at the moment, that there was no arguing about it.
On another note, karma is as useful an explanation as any as to why the supposedly best years of my life have gone to waste due to mental illness.
