What is the definition of insanity? To whom or to what? Not personalized in reference to a person. Insanity should be in reference to the symptoms (like anxiety or schizophrenia). We are not "insane" because we "suffer." Depression is a form of mental health does that make me mentally unwell enough to say I'm "insane?" Let me look, at and evaluate the terms used here people. Insane is not the fault of the victim to its accusers and certainly not heavy enough to victimize people to terms so degrading and profound.
