Of course I could be wrong, but I believe most mental illness has to do with demons in the literal sense, or at least features their influence. Demons hate human beings and love messing with our heads.
Cernovich is right to take threats seriously, but he's more than a little prey to the Apocalypse meme, at least in the essay you referenced. Kunstler has his moments but seems to have grown out of predicting immanent Apocalypses. Cernovich seems like a rich version of Ferfal, who has good reason to prepare like a maniac having it seen it all before (Ferfal is an Argentinian who was there during their collapse in 2001) but who dwells in a constant lather of anticipation. Of course you don't wear a 10K watch in this day and age -- it was always stupid to do so and the only thing that changed since the days of Croesus is that more people have the surface wealth to do it than they did in 640BC. It's bad out there because the collective astral plane is TRASH, but that's just like any storm system creating eddies and hurricanes here and there. I'm a little concerned for the daughter who he's trying to mold into a ninja warrior; that seems a bit like his paranoia rubbing off. Hopefully he gives her equal time out of martial arts training to have goofy parties, Roblox marathons, or whatever kids are into these days.
