It's such a general term and used so much as an insult that it would never be used professionally anymore

Etymology. From the middle English word medd, which proceeded from the old English word,gem. This had it's provenience in the High German word, gemeit, meaning foolish or crazy. ( some dispute on the German provenience ) I can not find any more on it. Next time go to a better educated section for questions of this magnitude. Social scientists are an ill educated lot.

There is no such thing as insanity, just different degrees of normality.

I think it comes from the fact that people that are insane often are angry.
