We explore the "Gazza" phenomenon through a true crime lens: what triggers a total break from reality? We delve into the foundational trauma Paul suffered at age 10, the escalating paranoia that mirrored a psychological thriller, and the infamous Raoul Moat incident—a moment of public psychosis captured in real-time. This is a deep dive into the harrowing mechanics of a terrifying psychosis and the man who had to survive his own brain.
