Is Octomom really crazy?

What are your thoughts

Update:

Anxiety, personality disorder, and OCDS. Body distortion....asexuality

Update 2:

Her household was overwhelming. She says her nannies were trying to take her kids. Listen to all the delusional jargon she goes on about. AND, she rants about Kate and her body image. There is something wrong with this women. Not to mention....her child, called her a bad mother in the back seat of the car.Sad, when your children are disloyal to you.

Update 3:

Mental illness, and intelligence are two different things.

Update 4:

She thinks there are ghosts in her house, she locked her mother in the trunk of her car, she enables her children to hit her....

Update 5:

Yes, but she already had six kids. The doctor was unethical to begin with. NO, this is her life in reality.Look at the 911 calls

    In my professional opinion, the woman has serious issues and is desperately in need of a thorough psychiatric evaluation. But worse is how certain entities are using her to make a buck. That's despicable!

    You do know it's a show, right? And that the only reason they show it is to get viewers? It's highly doubtful she has any sort of problems. Don't base someone's life on a show. That's why it's a show, and not "real life." They love showing this because they know viewers like you are going to continuously watch it. If it was a normal show about a mom, no one would watch it, ever.

    Also, for 8 children. Anyone who been to a fertility center would know that they inject a person with 8 eggs at once in hopes that one or two will be successful. There is always a risk that all 8 can be active, which is what happened to this woman. It's also highly doubtful that a doctor would knowingly do this as there are certain risks for even twin births such as mental illnesses as well as death to the mother... ethically speaking, it's doubtful any doctor would do this intentionally.

    I wouldn't call her crazy (not to her face anyway; just kidding)! Actually, I think she knew perfectly well what she was doing getting a fertility doctor to help her in having 8 more kids on top of the 6 she couldn't afford. She knew that this would make her famous and that she'd be covered for life. Sad but i think she knew all along. I just feel bad for the kids. Just like John and Kate those poor kids will be all over the media.

    She isn't crazy anymore. She has it all worked out, including all the help she is receiving. "Octomom" is going to be a trade mark and she will sell goods which she will create, in the knowledge that the 9 nannies will look after the 14 children while she is busy elsewhere. Stupid she is not.

    8 kids at once....

    And I thought the show 18 Kids and Counting was insane.

    Yes. I think she has problems with identifying reality and likely outcomes of situations. She also has delusions if you ask me.
