Claymates and mental illness

It seems that many of Clay Aiken's fans exhibit signs of mental illness in their actions and behaviors. Why is this? Is is a coincidence or is it a vast conspiracy by Simon Cowell and Clive Davis, as some of the Claymates would have us believe, to present such a disturbing picture of the mates by hiring "ringers" who masquerade as unstable, middle aged women and men on the various Clay boards? Some of the Claymates have gone public with theories to the effect that Simon Cowell has a hand in trying to destroy Clay Aiken. Worse yet, some mates think that his employer, Clive Davis is behind the campaign to ruin Clay Aiken. What do you think attracts the person with underlying mental illness to Clay Aiken? Why is he a magnet to those with paranoid disorders? Did his loss on AI trigger something in these people? If so, why hasn't the media focused on this unusual phenomenon? It makes me wonder...
