Yeah … for me “mad” means “behaving in a way that others find disturbing” … note, it is a judgement made by others. Someone could well be in such a state because they are having difficulty dealing with a complicated or very uncomfortable situation … and then if that gets resolved, “madness” goes away …
Indeed. As one of that small number of psychiatrists you refer to I have found it more fulfilling to speak the truth than to march in step, but I know that doesn’t go for everyone …
