I think you're mixing up "psychosis" with fads, trends, or perhaps executive excuses to do layoffs.

A feature of psychosis is being unable to distinguish between external ideas and internal ones. For example, if a brown-nosing Yes-Man machine keeps reflecting your own leading questions back at you, laundering them into "independent" wisdom.

In contrast, I'm pretty sure COVID and the invasion of Ukraine are actual external phenomena that affect businesses and economies.
