Armchair psychology all up in here, but no. I seriously doubt Rusty has been clinically delusional all this time. He's definitely experiencing a big ol' helping of the crazies right now, but I think he's experiencing a brutal narcissistic injury. Not only has he lost all his friends and family, his ego has been run through a woodchipper twice, and he's been given a giant red sticker that says"TARD ALERT" in court, which is a place he holds near and dear to the center of his ego.
I don't know. I still think his beliefs rise to the level of delusion. He thinks that these people talk about him, conspire against him, and attempt to hurt him. The other day when he recorded himself watching the video that said he sent to them while he was still trying to work everything out with them.... What was that video supposed to mean to them? He's doing air guitar (with a guitar, but still) to some song. What meaning did he think they would derive from that? He obviously thought that it would send a message to them that they would understand. That's delusional.
He is definitely suffering from a narcissistic injury, which I think makes it more likely that he's having other symptoms. Personality disorders rarely present without an accompanying mental illness. Flare-ups are more likely when the personality disorder has created some sort of crisis in the person's life. I have seen someone going through a similar breakdown, and it all comes out at once, and you will even see new things, like dissociative identity disorder pop up all of a sudden.
