hi, what does "look for all the world" mean in "New love can look for all the world like mental illness, a blend of mania, dementia and obsession that cuts people off from friends and family and prompts out-of-character behavior - compulsive phone calling, serenades, yelling from rooftops - that could almost be mistaken for psychosis."?

Thanks!

for all the world as if/like

It's an idiom meaning 'Exactly as if/like'
