Fictionkin is supposedly a belief going around the internet where people claim they are currently or have been a fictional character in a past life. Many say it's a spiritual thing, but many also claim that it's quite literal, and try to justify their stubborn belief with the excuse of the "multiverse theory" saying that it may be "fiction" here, but in other worlds it's reality.

It really unsettles me, mostly because a very unstable friend of mine firmly believes that he's fictionkin. That he IS "Gamzee Makara" from Homestuck, as well as one of the Doctors from Doctor Who and many other things/characters. No matter how I look at it, it seems more like a delusion than a possibility.

My question is, if this was brought up in therapy sessions, would the therapist actually go along with it and say it's a "healthy" thing for a mentally and emotionally unstable person to believe, or would they call it out as a delusion and treat them for it? I would think enabling things like that would be illegal.
