Seriously. I looked up 'crazy' and found 'insane'. I looked up 'insane' and found 'insanity'. I looked up 'insanity' and found nothing but legal issues whether or not someone is fit to stand trial. So I ask you, what is 'crazy'?

"Crazy" is a politically incorrect word meaning "mentally ill." Mental illness is a chemical imbalance in the brain that causes an afflicted person to act abnormally. Some signs of mental illness include hallucinations, delusions, and/or paranoia. There are other, less severe forms.
I am not surprised that you found legal issues when you looked up insanity. Insanity is a legal term, not a psychiatric term.
Sometimes people will refer to anyone who is different as "crazy," whether or not they are mentally ill.

It's the state of mind you will be in once you've gone through that vicious cycle of looking up the word crazy and find that all definitions lead right back to where you started.

"Crazy" is a subjective evaluation. "Insanity" means something different in law than it does in psychology. "Strange" means that you don't understand.

my definition: to be considered extremely abnormal by a generally accepting and tolerant society because or your actions or your beliefs.
