You dont think there might be some hyperbole in that claim?

Would that really make it less mental?

Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.

Yes, It would be less mental because I am suggesting that the person doesn’t necessarily mean it literally. You see sometime people say things that isn’t true for dramatic effect.
