I think a huge source of blame lies in organizations like the NSA/CIA that have proven to be deceptive / secretive / manipulative. There is a long history of secret experiements done by government that breeds distrust. Add mental health issues and the internet and you have a cauldron which can easily brew up this sort of thing.
I think a good type of treatment for this would be body cameras and mikes which a therapist could review with a patient and provide them with rational explanations.
