How do you define someone as crazy?
I know we throw the word around a lot. For example, a friend gets into a car drunk and you say, "man, they are crazy to be driving like that". It is a major generalization, right?
What if someone is depressed? Does that make them crazy?
What if someone posts photos on social media of a bleeding wrist? Does that make them crazy?
What if someone is bipolar? Does that make them crazy?
What if someone has episodes of schizophrenia due to triggers from childhood trauma? Does that make them crazy?
What if someone attempts suicide? Does that make them crazy?
I am very curious how the world defines "craziness".
The word "crazy" has come to mean such countless various things and isn't utilized in the clinical sense anymore. Along these lines, anybody can be called "crazy". Things are "crazy" acceptable. Spots can be alluded to as "crazy". Somebody can be supposed to be talking "crazy". One can wear a "crazy" outfit... and so forth.
But I am talking about crazy as "insanity".
I have no background about psychology, yet I have a fairly cloudy line on what characterizes being unusual, insane, or crazy in everyday terms (the most widely recognized sort of strange that we would comprehend). Everybody has something unconventional that is explicit to their conduct, which is the thing that we would characterize as idiosyncracies.
I have my own definition. My husband used to work in a mental institution as a psychiatric technician for quite some time, and I’ve learned a lot from him as well as have had a loss from suicide and even attempted it himself on more than one occasion. I did it myself too, several times.
So the big question is - What is crazy?
According to Psychology, someone's behavior and conduct become unusual and "crazy" when it's anything but an individual's capacity to carry on with their life, as they characterize it. That last part is significant. It's anything but up to the psychologist to characterize how somebody's life ought to be. It's up to that person.
Kinds Of Crazy
Drug-induced or trauma actuated craziness - refers to any crazy episodes which have been brought about by the abuse of drugs. It is also a condition characterized by hallucinations and delusions.
Delusions happen when an individual accepts something outside of what is truly going on regardless of any outer contention or inconsistency to such convictions. Hallucinations, on the other hand, are discernments (principally visual and hearable, and sometimes fragrances) of things that aren't really present. Symptoms include disordered discourse, confused thoughts, torpidity, enthusiastic changes, withdrawn conduct, sporadic conduct, or erratic behavior.
Emotional craziness - somebody who reliably feels a profoundly unique feeling, or an exceptionally overstated /exaggerated feeling, or a significant absence of feeling, contrasted with the one that conditions would propose, and has a lot of trouble framing fulfilling and useful connections subsequently.
Imaginary absurdity/craziness — somebody who envisions circumstances, situations, conditions, or, even creatures and deciphers them as genuine, and has a lot of trouble shaping fulfilling and useful connections accordingly
Cognitive absurdity — somebody who can't think straight, and can't come to sensible, coherent, customary, simple, ordinary, good judgment ends given a lot of information and data and has a lot of trouble framing fulfilling and useful connections, therefore — and whose innate trouble isn't promptly or fundamentally helped by an able and touchy companion, parent, instructor, advocate etc.
Other factors that make someone be crazy may include:
Outrageous degrees of stress – the individual might not have a decent method to manage their life conditions and they can't adapt, so as opposed to going to pressure the board like contemplation or care, they carry on in genuinely charged ways.
Dread and fear– dread of losing something, dread of humiliation, dread of death, and many, numerous others. At the point when an individual is unfortunate, they can't in any way, shape or form think and act in an objective manner. The dread drives the conduct.
Poor communication skills – most people talk well in their minds, but don't work effectively in addressing others and conveying their actual contemplations and sentiments. They conceal things or attempt to conceal them, and in doing as such, can show up in a negative and in any event, doubting way.
Restlessness – people who are late, who have responsibilities and they probably won't have the option to meet, or who stress over what they need to do next can carry on in insane and hostile manners. The surge never gets anybody to where they should be all the more rapidly. It simply makes conduct that is pessimistic to the individual and everyone around them.
Misconceptions – people hold a specific arrangement of convictions that cause them to see the world through a picture. They don't see things obviously, so they don't respond in the most evenhanded and level way.
Lack of education– not every person has had the chance to go through school and learn, and surprisingly the individuals who have might not have taken in all they need to know to manage the occasions of the world most viably.
and many others.
There are a lot more factors behind those craziness. All individuals experience one of these at some point, one way or another. It is very important to say, "crazy" people need understanding, love, care and help. They need not to just be adversely judged and avoided. It is showing the genuine meaning of sympathy and care.
I saw my younger sister (she passed away roughly 3 years ago) have mental breaks all through her youth. She was determined as bipolar at the age of 14-15 I believe. As numerous with a dysfunctional behavior, she would regularly quit taking her prescriptions. The primary break I recall, is the point at which I was around in my late teen years. I don't remember every single detail because I was still in school back then. She tossed our furniture she could oversee, and different family things out on the grass, inappropriately yelling in the middle of the nights and running around our neighborhood and too many other crazy things. To cut the story short, she was sent to a mental institution which is an 8-hour drive from our home and we only visit her (my mom most of the time) every 3 months - until she was declared dead (years later) without us knowing in advance. That was very unsettling and sad, but it does happen.
We all go through difficult times and people around us help us get through them. On different occasions we have been stressed over others' emotional well-being. Regardless of whether they are a companion, relative or partner, there are numerous approaches to help someone we truly care about.
Give an open and non-judgemental space without any interruptions
Allow them to lead the conversation at their own speed. Try not to squeeze them to disclose to you anything they aren't prepared to discuss. Talking can take a ton of trust and mental fortitude
Try not to attempt to analyze their sentiments
Keep questions and communication open-ended
Talk about prosperity
Listen cautiously to what they are telling you
Offer help
Seeing the people we love in torment is hard, particularly when we can't identify with their battle. We might need to fix their issues and be there emotionally for them. People who have gone crazy are not different people. When they're battling, they aren't beasts, when they improve, they are not new individuals.
Good afternoon, once again, and have a great day wherever you are. Please, please be kind. See people for who they are, not for what we think they may be. We are all just trying to explore this thing called life and that looks different to every single person in the world. What works for you, may not work for her or him. We all just need to appreciate and accept this. We must find our common ground in our humanness.
Stay kind.
One love

Thank you for visiting.
To all my generous readers and sponsors, thank you very much!
First off, accept my condolence, though it's been years. She is already resting in peace. Like you stated, the word "crazy" has been used in a lot of contexts. For instance, someone did something very exciting, and another exclaimed, that was crazy, man". Whatever way we use it, it's important that the people we are communicating with understand.
