My aunt died from this (my opinion). She spend two years confusion her diagnosis and treatment, and borderline harassing her doctors, by thinking her own research was on point and interpreting all her symptoms through that lens. In the end it wasn't borrelia, parasites, 5G, or any of the other fancies, but just lung cancer that was only diagnosed when it was very well developed.

There’s a difference between mental illness and active participation.

People not suffering from mental illness will typically not blame 5G for their health concerns.

You're a lay person. You know there is a thing out there called 'foo'.

You've read things that compellingly claim that foo causes xyz symptoms. You also know that some people that have obviously palpable disdain for you claim that foo could never cause these symptoms.

You have xyz symptoms. Are you mentally ill if you think that foo could be the cause?

Are the compelling claims from experts in foo or xyz? Is the disdain?

		Both present themselves to you as experts.
