Agreed and there's a big difference between having a weird idea and mental illness, and it's strange to see them conflated.
Most people who end up like Kanye, for example, don't become insanely rich, they end up alienating everyone in their lives if they don't take care of themselves, and eventually end up in prison, institutionalized, homeless or dead.

Their incentives are not aligned with the stability of your mental health. (Though they don’t follow their incentives perfectly because institutions are still made of humans who care about people)
