What is normal for them is the way they are. You call them crazy, they call you perhaps crazy? Normal for us is sometimes questionable. I would answer YES.

You know; when a human has a problem one can understand that can be helped, he's just got a problem; when a human isn't understood but works fine or better in any environment he's a talented or genius person; but when a human is not understood and has a problem he's crazy.
So, it's just like having a problem only you can fix while others will try to take credit for that...
...or having a problem nobody can fix and getting more and more damaged and eventually distant to other people. That's being crazy. It could be just like an irremovable eternal thorn you have to learn to live with unless it's too big (than you can really be considered lunatic) or you learn to remove it (but if a problem evolved in first place, you just might have been born in a too stupid (which is nerve cracking (every minute) or different (too good/evil;gay/straight;beautiful/ugly;horny/cold;popular/isolated;ect.) environment )).

First of all lets decide what's crazy.
Are you crazy if you're a little off beat? Or do you have to be farther down the road of non-conformity to qualify?
Or do you need to rely on medications to make it through the day and if so, and the meds level you out, are you nuts or just being treated for a medical condition?
Or are you only crazy if all the meds and all the therapy in the world wouldn't allow you to take part in the day to day running of your own life?
This last one for me is the qualifier. And yes I think many who are labeled crazy can live full and productive lives if certain people would get it through their thick skulls that normal does not mean identically held ideas to their own.

As a mental health professional with 20+ years experience, now retired, I can tell you that with the ever evolving psychiatric medication, "crazy" people have an ever increasing chance to live "normal" lives. In my professional opinion, the mentally ill individual needs to be involved in ongoing psychiatric care, and maybe they'll need loving family or friends nearby simply to help them "keep their bearings" by having regular and normal interactions with them. Isolation is the one thing a mentally ill person does not need a lot of in a continual span of time. Caring and sensitivity to the mentally ill individual's circumstance is vital, and it's too bad we have to have "special needs" categories of people before loving human interaction can be encouraged. "Normal" is well within the mentally ill individual's range of possibilities. It's too bad that, as a generality, we have become such a sub-human or in-human or abnormal society such that we have to ask for or prescribe sensitive, loving interaction. God Bless you.

If wearing old Pelligrino water bottles on your arms like Swimmies, and pretending to swim your way down the street, while avoiding the super squids that are always, always trying to sell you candy bars for their high school basketball team is normal, then yes, they most certainly lead the most mundane of lives.

Only if they believe themselves - to say one is "crazy" and another "normal" is such a broad statement. Einstein, Edison and Currie were all thought to be crazy but were indeed just too intelligent to be very social. It is all relative - how a person accepts themselves and how they are accepted by others is far more telling.

Your question is a hard one for a simple answer.
First we need to determine what NORMAL is.IF it's
a person that is mentally disturbed,yes with
medication,and Lot's of sessions of therapy
IF it's a person that has been mentally sick from
birth.NO we call the first category,a person is just disturbed.YES they can live a productive life.

Yes, people with psychological problems can live a normal life with medication and therapy.

I'm pretty crazy, I used to be crazier when I was younger. I think I live a pretty normal life.
