The Psychosis is inconsequential as there was no psychosis, it was just a ploy to fool quaid into taking a sedative. Probably a better comparison would be quaids new life/wife vs his real life (memorys that have been erased and new ones transplanted).
I find it interesting that the part about one man/company witholding essential resources to control the masses and profit is far closer to reality than fiction.
