Psychosis?: Your dad may have a psychotic disorder that pulls him out of reality and can make him delusional at times. We can all get superstitious, especially under stress, and see signs, but when it goes to the extreme you mention it is necessary to speak to a mental health professional. The very best to you and your dad.

Concern: Bipolar disorder can be complicated by symptoms of psychosis. Psychosis can include the belief that benign aspects of the environment have significant meaning. This belief can influence decisions and behavior. Treatment of the condition will aim at resolving these symptoms.
