...but I guess according to this I would deem my theory not completely implausible

(Psychosis is triggered by cronic levels of stress and serves to get out of those unhealthy and unnatural stress levels by changing the mental model of the world into a version where the mind feels like it's doing something productive)

Keep in mind that the mind was designed to solve problems like "dont get eaten by that bear over there"

Not "do X, Y and Z and maybe your parents and peers and cute girls wont look down on you three years from now".

Cortisol blasts are meant to last a couple of minutes after which you're dead or hopefully safe. Not three years. That kind of shit fucks us up.
