How do you classify one insane?

Intelligence is not used to classify sanity ro insanity.\n\nThe primary characteristic of an insane person is that they are unable to distinguish what is or is not part of physical reality.\n\nSchizophrenia, for example, is a mental illness in which the individual cannot distinguish between voices heard or conspiricies imagined and the real world as it is.  At a very specific point this individual is not merely suspicious and a loner, but insane because unable to distinguish between the imagination and reality.  With schizophrenia there are also specific, obvious physiological changes (especially to the individual's metabolism and glandular functions).  There are TREATMENTS but no cures for this disease.\n\nAnother form of insanity involves psychopathic behavior,a person who does not recognize right and wrong and treats morality as a game.  Psychopaths do not hallucinate but have no sense of right or wrong and are cunning at pretending to be sane.  A psychopathic illness can be INDUCED by trauma to the frontal lobe.  There is a strong connection between childhood bedwetting and firestarting and cruelty to animals and psychopathic personality.  See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopath \n\nBoth Schizophrenia and psychopathic disorders are INCURABLE.

Body dismorphia is a psychological disease. As far as crazy, I think you mean insane. Insanity is defined as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." With this in mind, are you doing the same thing over and over agian and expecting that it will eventually make you "happy?" Most belimics and anorexics fit into this mold.

If you are accused of a crime,a lot of people try to use this defence as away to get a lesser sentence.  They say that they were temporarily insane;not in their right frame of mind when they committed the crime. Then they usually have to be evaluated by a psychiatrist to gaet their input for court.

Walking the line between genius and insanity, or sanity and insanity.  There is a point at which you cross to the other side.

the psychiatrist...\n\nseries of tests will determine whether they are insane or not... this is then proven to the jury / judge / defense lawyers / plaintiff lawyers

Define crazy... are they crazy because they go to raves?  Are they bipolar or have multiple personalities?  I would suggest this person should have a friend go with them to the rave and make sure they don't take anything that would harm them.  I would call them in need of help.

They say it's a fine line between the two. I think sanity is defined by society, or other people in our circle, as acting according to a norm. Insanity is deviating extremely from the norm. We may all be judged by our peers as sane or acting insane, but ultimately it is a medical (psychiatric) judgment of insanity that qualifies someone as insane. And for some, insanity can come and go quite quickly, making even that individual wonder at his own sanity.

someone else also asked this question very recently.. \nI will copy and paste the previous answer for ya  :)\nThe current standard for setting universally accepted criteria is...\nThe Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)\nThis is the place where all doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists find the classifications necessary to diagnose patients according to certain traits in whatever their mental affliction may be.. \nI have used the following webpages for my own research uses. I am bipolar and found them very helpful..\ncut and paste the links :)\n1.) http://www.a-silver-lining.org/bpndepth/... \n2.) http://www.mental-health-today.com/bp/ds...\nthe first explains the process for diagnoses.\nthe second applies to mood disorders\nHope this helps ya out \nGood Luck.
