"Just because you're paranoid it doesn't mean they aren't really out to get you." I have Bipolar-Type Schizoaffective Disorder. It's much like being manic-depressive and schizophrenic at the same time. One of the schizophrenic symptoms is paranoia; if the paranoia gets bad enough, I have visual hallucinations as well. Having all this surveillance going on, even to the extent I am assured they're not looking for me, makes my illness far worse. It doesn't help to take more medicine. I would be very interested to see a comparison of psychiatric hospitalization rates from before and after Snowden's disclosures. It's not hard to get such statistics but it would be some work to interpret them meaningfully.
