Reply to comment by pastdense in Gerda Weissman Klein was one of only 120 survivors of a 350 mile Death March during the Holocaust; it began with over 4,000 people. In this clip she tells of the last time she ever saw her father, and credits her survival to the intuitive last words he spoke to her. by asday515

I mean, that's the rub, isn't it?

People with serious psychiatric illness oftentimes have poor insight and poor judgment, which is part of their illness. They don't always appreciate that anything is wrong, or might feel that something is wrong, but can't figure out why and the paranoia makes it hard to trust people / doctor's.

Paranoid delusions and/or delusions of grandeur are much harder to reality test for people who are, legitimately, at the top of the world.
