agreed. "First break" in a schizophrenia type of presentation is but one example of a mental health crisis. There are many other presentations and concerns that could be relevant, including mood episodes, trauma responses, intrusive thoughts, suicidality, paranoia, delusions that occur in the absence of other psychotic symptoms (even in very high functioning people), etc. In fact if you follow stories about Q-Anon, pizzagate, etc, you see how quickly (as in, in a matter of days sometimes) people with certain vulnerabilities can latch onto delusional level ideas about child trafficking and really deteriorate in functioning (See: Alpalus Slylman, Jessica Prim, Matthew Taylor Coleman). It's a topic currently in the zeitgeist the way alien abductions, gang stalking, and other high emotion, fear driven issues have popped up before and they can manifest in people's illnesses. Obviously we don't know what happened here, but "mental health crisis" can mean many different things.
