"The definition of insanity is: Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result."

It is not appropriate to label someone as "crazy." If you are concerned about someone's mental health, it is important to approach the situation with care and empathy and encourage them to seek professional help.
Using terms like "crazy" to describe someone's mental state is generally considered disrespectful and stigmatizing. It's more appropriate to use person-first language, such as saying "a person with a mental health condition" or "a person experiencing mental health challenges."
Another word that can be used to mean a person is a nut case or crazy is "lunatic."
No, "screw loose" is a figurative expression used to suggest that someone is acting oddly or irrationally. It does not necessarily mean the person is crazy, but rather that their behavior is unusual or eccentric.
Not always. Some individuals may have insight into their condition and recognize their thoughts or behaviors as abnormal. Others may lack awareness due to their condition, making it challenging for them to perceive themselves as "crazy."
Hurm. If I do recall correctly, it was the gentleman sitting next to me on the bus while a homeless man tried to hijack the bus. He used toe nail clippers as a weapon. He was responding to my previous statement before the man went ballistic: "Ha. I told my girlfriend of two weeks that I love her. I must be crazy." Forrest Gump attributed it to his mother in the movie, of course.
