'I was quite embarrassed': How ex-conspiracy theorists climbed out of the rabbit hole

Gemma Conroy, ABC Science Reporter
Analysis - For two years, Jitarth Jadeja spent most of his time in the darkest corners of the web reading about conspiracy theories.

Jadeja, 33, was an avid follower of QAnon - a baseless, far-right theory that started by alleging then-US president Donald Trump was fighting against a secret group of elites who ran a global child sex trafficking ring.
For hours each day, Jadeja devoured cryptic predictions shared by an anonymous online poster called Q on the imageboard website 4chan.

De-Radicalizing From QAnon Isn't Easy (VIDEO)

February 18, 2021
Some experts say U.S. mental health community is woefully unprepared to help conspiracy cult followers break free.
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
It was easy enough to fall for QAnon in 2020 — political leaders from former President Trump on down gave a gloss of credibility. Easy to get into — much harder to get out of.
"I didn't want people to think I was stupid."
Nineteen-year-old Leila Hay says she was scared of being judged for believing the lies — which start with liberal, Satan-worshipping pedophiles running the world and end with a fantasy that Trump would swoop in to save the day and stay in power. So even when she realized QAnon had isolated her from family and friends, she hesitated to get help.
