It was a mixture of THC use, meditation and Enochian magic that seemed to do it. All of which I had repeatedly warned him about as things to avoid.
Has anyone here dealt with anything like this and what was the outcome?
Message me if you don't want to discuss it here.
I have had quite a number of students who took marijuana in various forms, and when I tell them they have to quit it or they won't be able to get better at kungfu they stop coming to class.

Initially, for the first several years, it appeared to fix all his crap. He got married, had some wonderful children, and started a successful business.
Covid hit. The business collapsed and he relocated his family to Texas.
Around this time, he started having some long-term pain management problems associated with his prior career as a semi-pro athlete. He started using CDB products to help with this.
I warned him about the possibility of there being THC in these kinds of unregulated products. And re-warned him about the dangers of mixing Hermetics and THC. Psychosis is a common outcome of combining the two. Usually short lived, but not always. For people who have had this problem, neither myself, nor any of my teachers, have had any success treating it. Sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't.
He stopped being my student around this time and started to become a little too interested in conspiracy theories. Then he turned on the gas with Enochian practice. Again, something I had warned him about repeatedly.
And now he's completely out of his mind.
For those unaware, a whole series of meditative, and yogic, practices often come with a steep risk versus reward curve. Enochian is one. Kundalini yoga, the micro-macro cosmic orbits, and some aggressive forms of pranayama are all known for breaking people. Some say this is a byproduct of incorrect practice. Either way, some things come with a body count.
Intense practices require intense personalities. So, when things begin to go wrong, those same personalities that can result in success often pour on the gas instead of hitting the breaks.
FYI, the example about building a car is a good one. I'll be using that. And yes, I hope he makes it through this.

let the hilarity ensue...

The way forward largely remains the same tho, whether issues arise from this life or from past lifes.
