Technically? It could warp someone's worldview so much that they could very easily fall down the hole of some conspiracy theories.

I think my mom has undiagnosed bipolar disorder and conspiracy theories were a huge part of how I started figuring that out. It's been so sad to watch but the combo of her upbringing and the theories she fell into have her refusing to get diagnosed even though all her adult daughters have asked her to and don't talk to her anymore because she is so volatile she just decides what is true about everybody in her own mind. It's devastating to the whole family :/
