Series Buffy the Vampire Slayer question (SPOILERS)

[ChemicallyEnhanced]

I just started rewatching it for the first time (yesterday, so I'm still on season one)...and remembered that season (5? I think) episode where the twist at the end is that Buffy IS actually a catatonic in a mental hospital and has been all along and that the entire show is fantasy world she created in her head.
Do people consider that canon?
Like, even with the show continuing the rest of that season anyway - and then 2 more seasons - none of it is real?

Anyone here a fan of the show and do YOU consider it canon that Buffy is a normal, albeit severely mentally ill, girl and NOT the slayer?

Buffy was hunting for the Trio, and they knew it so Andrew summoned a demon who injected Buffy with a venom which caused hallucinations. The Trio figured it would distract Buffy enough so she wouldn't find them for awhile.

She's definitely the Slayer.
