London
London
i/ˈlʌndən/ is the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom, and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures. Located on the River Thames, London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, who named it Londinium. London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its square-mile mediaeval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, the name London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core. The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the elected Mayor of London and the London Assembly.
London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is the world's leading financial centre alongside New York City and has the fifth-largest city GDP in the world (and the largest in Europe). London has been described as a world cultural capital. It was the world's most visited city during 2011 and London Heathrow is the world's busiest airport by number of international passengers. London's 43 universities form the largest concentration of higher education in Europe. In 2012 London will become the first city to host the modern Summer Olympic Games three times.

United States
The United States of America (commonly abbreviated to the United States, the U.S., the USA, America, and the States) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district. The country is situated mostly in central North America, where its forty-eight contiguous states and Washington, D.C., the capital district, lie between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, bordered by Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. The state of Alaska is in the northwest of the continent, with Canada to the east and Russia to the west, across the Bering Strait. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific. The country also possesses several territories in the Pacific and Caribbean.
At 3.79 million square miles (9.83 million km2) and with over 312 million people, the United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area, and the third largest by both land area and population. It is one of the world's most ethnically diverse and multicultural nations, the product of large-scale immigration from many countries. The U.S. economy is the world's largest national economy, with an estimated 2011 GDP of $15.1 trillion (22% of nominal global GDP and over 19% of global GDP at purchasing-power parity). Per capita income is the world's sixth-highest.

David Rosenhan
David L. Rosenhan (1929 – February 6, 2012) was an American psychologist. He is best known for the Rosenhan experiment, a study challenging the validity of psychiatry diagnoses.
Rosenhan received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Yeshiva University. At Columbia University in 1953 he earned his master's degree, and five years later his Ph.D in psychology. Rosenhan was a leading expert on psychology and the law. He was a pioneer in the application of psychological methods to the practice of trial law process, including jury selection and jury consultation. He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and has been a visiting fellow at Wolfson College at Oxford University. Before joining the Stanford Law School faculty in 1970, he was a member of the faculties of Swarthmore College, Princeton University, and Haverford College. He was also a research psychologist at Educational Testing Service and a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania.

Francisco Goya
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (Spanish pronunciation: [fɾanˈθisko xoˈse ðe ˈɣoʝa i luˈθjentes]; 30 March 1746–16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns. Goya was a court painter to the Spanish Crown, and through his works was both a commentator on and chronicler of his era. The subversive and imaginative element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided a model for the work of later generations of artists, notably Manet, Picasso and Francis Bacon.. In his honour, Spain's main national film awards are called the Goya Awards.
Goya was born in Fuendetodos, Aragón, Spain, in 1746 to José Benito de Goya y Franque and Gracia de Lucientes y Salvador. He spent his childhood in Fuendetodos, where his family lived in a house bearing the family crest of his mother. His father earned his living as a gilder. About 1749, the family bought a house in the city of Zaragoza and some years later moved into it. Goya may have attended school at Escuelas Pias. He formed a close friendship with Martin Zapater at this time, and their correspondence from the 1770s to the 1790s is a valuable source for understanding Goya's early career at the court of Madrid. At age 14, Goya studied under the painter José Luzán. He moved to Madrid where he studied with Anton Raphael Mengs, a painter who was popular with Spanish royalty. He clashed with his master, and his examinations were unsatisfactory. Goya submitted entries for the Royal Academy of Fine Art in 1763 and 1766, but was denied entrance.

Hippocrates
Hippocrates of Cos or Hippokrates of Kos (Ancient Greek: Ἱπποκράτης; Hippokrátēs; c. 460 BC – c. 370 BC) was an ancient Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Athens), and is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is referred to as the father of Western medicine in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields that it had traditionally been associated with (notably theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession.
However, the achievements of the writers of the Corpus, the practitioners of Hippocratic medicine, and the actions of Hippocrates himself are often commingled; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician, credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, still relevant and in use today. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Corpus and other works.

Insanity defense
In criminal trials, the insanity defense is where the defendant claims that he or she was not responsible for his or her actions due to mental health problems (psychiatric illness or mental handicap). The exemption of the insane from full criminal punishment dates back to at least the Code of Hammurabi.[citation needed] There are different definitions of legal insanity, such as the M'Naghten Rules, the Durham Rule, the American Legal Institute definition, and various miscellaneous provisions (e.g. relating to lack of mens rea). .
In the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States, use of the defense is rare; however, since the Criminal Procedure (Insanity and Unfitness to Plead) Act 1991 , insanity pleas have steadily increased in the UK . Mitigating factors, including things not eligible for the insanity defense like intoxication[citation needed] (or, more frequently, diminished capacity), may lead to reduced charges or reduced sentences.
The insanity defense is based on evaluations by forensic mental health professionals with the appropriate test according to the jurisdiction. Their testimony guides the jury, but they are not allowed to testify to the accused's criminal responsibility, as this is a matter for the jury to decide. Similarly, mental health practitioners are restrained from making a judgment on the issue of whether the defendant is or is not insane or what is known as the "ultimate issue".

Isaac Ray
Isaac Ray (January 16, 1807 – March 31, 1881) was an American psychiatrist, one of the founders of the discipline of forensic psychiatry. In 1838, he published A Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity (Boston), which served as an authoritative text for many years.
A native of Beverly, Massachusetts, and a graduate of Phillips Academy (class of 1822), Ray received his medical degree in 1827 from the Medical College of Maine (Bowdoin) and attempted to establish a general practice in Portland, Maine. When this venture failed, he moved to the coastal village of Eastport, where he practiced, taught, and wrote his "Treatise on the Medical Jurisprudence of Insanity," published in 1838. After several years in Eastport, he was appointed Superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane in Augusta in 1841. In 1845 he moved to Providence, Rhode Island, to supervise the building of the private Butler Hospital and became its first Superintendent. Prior to Butler Hospital's receiving patients in 1847, Ray toured the asylums of Europe, reporting his findings in the "American Journal of Insanity." In 1867, he moved to an active retirement in Philadelphia.

Vincent Gigante
Vincent Louis Gigante (
/dʒɨˈɡæntiː/; March 29, 1928 – December 19, 2005), also known as "Chin," was a New York Italian-American mobster in the American Mafia who was boss of the Genovese crime family from 1981 to 2005. Gigante started out as a professional boxer who fought 25 matches between 1944 and 1947. He then started working as a Mafia enforcer for the Genovese crime family. Gigante was one of five brothers: himself, Mario, Pasquale and Ralph all became mobsters in the Genovese family. Only one brother, Louis, stayed out of the crime family, instead becoming a priest. Gigante was the shooter in the failed assassination of Frank Costello in 1957. After sharing a prison cell with Boss Vito Genovese following his conviction for heroin trafficking, Gigante became a caporegime, overseeing his own crew of Genovese soldiers and associates that operated out of Greenwich Village. Gigante quickly rose to power during the 1960s and 1970s. By 1981 he became the Boss of the Genovese crime family, while Anthony "Fat Tony" Salerno served as front boss during the 1980s. He also ordered the failed murder attempt of Gambino crime family boss John Gotti in 1986. With the arrest and conviction of Gotti and various Gambino family members in 1992, Gigante was officially recognized as the most powerful crime boss in the United States. Dubbed "The Oddfather" and "The Enigma in the Bathrobe" by the press, Gigante often wandered the streets of Greenwich Village in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself, in what Gigante later admitted was an elaborate act to avoid prosecution. The act worked for over 10 years and Gigante was determined to be mentally unfit to stand trial. However, by 1997 he was tried and convicted of racketeering and was given a 12 year sentence. He died while in prison custody in 2005 at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners.

William Hogarth
William Hogarth (10 November 1697 – 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic and editorial cartoonist who has been credited with pioneering western sequential art. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects". Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian."
William Hogarth was born at Bartholomew Close in London to Richard Hogarth, a poor Latin school teacher and textbook writer, and Anne Gibbons. In his youth he was apprenticed to the engraver Ellis Gamble in Leicester Fields, where he learned to engrave trade cards and similar products. Young Hogarth also took a lively interest in the street life of the metropolis and the London fairs, and amused himself by sketching the characters he saw. Around the same time, his father, who had opened an unsuccessful Latin-speaking coffee house at St John's Gate, was imprisoned for debt in Fleet Prison for five years. Hogarth never spoke of his father's imprisonment.[citation needed]

Another day in darkland
He killed his family
Just couldn't see a future
Like he was told to be
And as the great provider
Stopped his source to survive
He found he served the wrong gods
A credit or his life
And the we read the news from all around the world
'Bout all this tragedies we cannot understand
How can you say it's only letters that don't matter much
That you don't care ´bout all this misery in you and me
All this insanity surrounding me
All this insanity is killing me
Another night in dreamworld
She had it up to here
So went up to the rooftop
Got rid of all her fear
Well, as her head was shattered
She made peace with her age
There lying on the pavement
She finally left the stage
And on the television rules an abstract life
Where next to youth and beauty nothing can survive
How can you say it's just a point of view, it's up to you
While in the hidden grows this misery in you and me
All this insanity surrounding me
Music by: Andy la Rocque
(Instrumental) Acoustic % Electric &
You do me and you wind me up just to see me crack
Half the fun of being mean's to see me coming back
We've been through this so many times before
Shouldn't we be gettin' good at it?
I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn't even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don't you wanna find insanity with me?
I'm not gettin' through to you on the phone
Lately when you're not around you couldn't be more gone
You're acting like you just turned 21 today
Struttin' in your new suit
You can't keep your mouth shut
But you don't have a single thing to say
I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn't even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don't you wanna find insanity with me?
Don't you love me anymore?
Don't you love me anymore?
I was happy to let you in my life
But you didn't even try to keep it alive
Come back to me
Don't you wanna find insanity with me?
Don't you love me anymore?
I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
Straighten out this crooked toungue...
My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow.
My mind has wandered from the flock you see.
My mind has wandered, the man just said so.
My mind has wandered, I heard it on TV.
And the flock has wandered away from me.
-CHORUS-
All around the world now
Like a big bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello insanity
I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally, I'm morally impure
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well oiled machine
Christian nation, assimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the streeet
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on TV
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin
While he mental fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me
Let's imitate reality
Let's strive for mediocrity
Let's make believe we're all the same
Let's sanitize our little brains
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
Christian sons, christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal
Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me
Christian nation, make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family falues while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle
(chorus)
I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky
(chorus)
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds
She turns my world around
Whenever she is touching me
She knows she's got control
Of every little thing I feel
(You better let go
You better let go)
I can't go on feeling
Like a little devil boy
But at the same time she
Takes me where I wanna be
(You better let go
You better let go)
Come on you know what I want
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Your girlfriend's coming on to me
She eats your heart out can't you see
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
No you have no idea
She's doings things behind your back
She's creeping up behind you
Telling me "I want you"
(You better let go
You better let go)
Come on girl
Now don't push it girl
Then go to someone else when
You know you hurt me - aouch!
Really really bad
(You better let go
You better let go)
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Your girlfriend's coming on to me
She eats your heart out can't you see
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Sweet as she is she is breaking my heart
Nobody knows it I fell from the start
Heating your life then she blows you away
But I can't stay
(You better let go
You better let go)
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Your girlfriend's coming on to me
She eats your heart out can't you see
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
I've got a little problem
that I can't control at all
I like to kidnap little children
from the local shopping mall
I chop them up in pieces
even though I know it's vile
I'm just a helpless victim
and I'll say so at my trial
they'll never get me
i'm pleading insanity
i'm getting off scot free
i'm pleading insanity
my mommy used to beat me senseless
with a rubber hose
made me play naked twister
and stuck her pussy in my nose
because i was abused so bad
it warped my fucking brain
i'm killing little children
is how i deal with all this pain
my shrink says i'm a victim
and i couldn't help myself
but six months down the road from now
he'll say that i am well
i'll thank my shrink and my attorney
for helping me get free
i've got plans for a relapse
now that i can see the tragedy, that's killing me
i will not lie down
it only happens when you're close to me, now you're too clean
for me to fuck you round
every night i tune right out just for the simple fact
that you are not around (you are not around)
i can escape the dreams of you because i know what i have found
and if i had some sort of temporary insanity, i could shift the blame
to the illness that infected me, so casually
to you it's just a game
every night i tune right out just for the simple fact
that you are not around (you are not around)
i can escape the dreams of you because i know what i have found
how could you?
you'd be much better off than them.
Insanity
It's my good it's my bad
It's my turn to make mistakes
It's my life it's my choice
It's my happiness at stake
So stop telling me how to be
And instead tell me...
Chorus:
You'll be there, even when I don't care
Loving me, but letting me be free
Through all this insanity
I need to know you would never leave me
Let me go
‘Cause I'll fall on my face
In a state of disgrace
But you'll still love me
Through all this insanity
The life I choose may not be what you wanted for me
But I need time and I need space and I need room to breath
Because I've got to try
To break the binds
I've got to find
My own life, and...
Chorus:
You'll be there, even when I don't care
Loving me, but letting me be free
Through all this insanity
I need to know you would never leave me
Let me go
‘Cause I'll fall on my face
In a state of disgrace
But you'll still love me
Through all this insanity
Don't be afraid to let go
Because I'll always come home
Chorus:
You'll be there, even when I don't care
Loving me, but letting me be free
Through all this insanity
I need to know you would never leave me
Let me go
‘Cause I'll fall on my face
In a state of disgrace
But you'll still love me
Fighting the feeling of torment
That dwells within your brain
Locked up in this padded cell
They've labeled you insane
Our world is nothing more to you
Than a game of life and death
Seeking pleasure as you watch
Your victim's die slow death
Insanity what's in your head
We now see that your brain is dead
Demented mind ruling over you
Now there's nothing left to do
Killed and killed again
But that's your twisted way
Menace to the normal view
But int his (in this) cell you'll stay
There is no escape for you
This torture must go on
For this is the price you pay
For a violent crime so wrong
Feeling your leaving your world behind
Body being ruled by an empty mind
Your living is sanity
Death is your final plea
Probing intrusions
Deep within your brain
Try to find the reason why
You've gone insane
No answer to your problem
Your just meant to be
A victim of society
Only death will set you free
Insanity what's in your head
We now see that your brain is dead
Demented mind ruling over you
Now there's nothing left to do
Feeling your leaving your world behind
Body being ruled by an empty mind
Your living is sanity
I think i'm losing my mind even the voices are going insane
Vernture into paranoia there's madness to be obtained
There's padding on the wall because i'm bouncing all the time
Searching though the human souls deepest darkest crimes
This is how i spend my time the time that you don't see
I'm everything you hate and yet your still in love with me
I try to make it right, i do everything i can
But when the day is over i'm still this crazy rotting man
I never meant to spread the wonds of my life's insanity
But i'm growing sick and tired of this responsibility
You may think it's wrong but it's the way it has to be
You must let me concentrate on my insanity
The world fell apart when you slipped off your cloud
It hurts to tell ya you can't go back now
My mind goes places to where i must follow
Alone with my mind i am destined to be
The world fell apart when you slipped off your cloud
It hurts to tell ya you can't go back now
My mind goes places to where i must follow
Alone with my mind i am destined to be
I feel like an asshole now when i look at you
But the purest form of evil is the work i have to do
There was a scrap of good left in me but now i fear it's lost
The deamon laid low and waited for my own souls hollacaust
The time for resurrection into darkness has arrived
Time to show the whole world just what lurks inside
The insanity has been set loose a monster on the run
Hold on tight and brace yourself the lunacy has begun
The world fell apart when you slipped off your cloud
It hurts to tell ya you can't go back now
My mind goes places to where i must follow
Alone with my mind i am destined to be
The world fell apart when you slipped off your cloud
It hurts to tell ya you can't go back now
My mind goes places to where i must follow
Alone with my mind i am destined to be
Alone with my mind like a zombie in the grip of an angry mob
Alone with my mind like a sinner in the hands of an angry god
Alone with my mind like a zombie in the grip of an angry mob
Alone with my mind like a sinner in the hands of an angry god
Alone with my mind like a zombie in the grip of an angry mob
Alone with my mind like a sinner in the hands of an angry god
Alone with my mind like a zombie in the grip of an angry mob
Alone with my mind like a sinner in the hands of an angry god
Alone with my mind like a zombie in the grip of an angry mob
Alone with my mind like a sinner in the hands of an angry god
Sinner in the hands of an angry god
Sinner in the hands of an angry god
Sinner in the hands of an angry god
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
Well she's drunk all the time
Swallows pills all night
And then she tells me that she's already dead
Never leaves the house until the moon comes out
She fights the voices inside her head
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Insanity, insanity
Well dreams we used to have
Now just make her sad
The days keep rolling but our lives never change, no
Knives and razor blades, keep them locked away
She tries to hurt herself to kill the pain
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Insanity, insanity
Go, I know, it seems a lot to ask
I'd like my own life back
Before the door is closed on me
Dreaming used to be so free
Now our lives are laid in waste
Pain pulls me 'neath
The pace of life is going so slow
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Oh yeah, I think she's losing her mind
It had to go some time
She says she's just fine
Insanity, insanity
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I think she's losing her mind, I think she's losing her mind
I love you more than words can say
You took my innocence from me
I rained on you
You stormed on me
I'm your thunder
Your my lightning
But, I can't live without you babe
I envy letting you pull the strings
You've confiscated my mind
But, I'm taking over this time
I really don't want you to go
You got my heart not my soul
You make me go
Ah oh ah oh NO
You make me say
Please baby please baby stay
You make me scream
Please get away from me
It's totally insanity
You pulled the moon closer my way
Gave me more light than I could take
You showed me sights I've never seen
You brought out the best in me
And then you rearrange my fate
You knocked me in another space
Can't let you keep on hurting me
I just can't hide the bruises
I have no energy left
We're scared and were both the blame
Boy your driving me crazy
You make me go
Ah oh ah oh no
You make me say
Please baby please baby stay
You make me scream
Please get away from me
It's totally insanity
And I know it's hard to change
The patterns we have made
We need to rearrange
Cause I'm going insane
I love you more and more baby
I just can't get you out my head
Don't you walk away from me
You owe me more happy days
And yes I am afraid
Your bills too much to pay

Insanity, craziness or madness is a spectrum of behaviors characterized by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity may manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person becoming a danger to themselves or others, though not all such acts are considered insanity. In modern usage insanity is most commonly encountered as an informal unscientific term denoting mental instability, or in the narrow legal context of the insanity defense. In the medical profession the term is now avoided in favor of diagnoses of specific mental disorders; the presence of delusions or hallucinations is broadly referred to as psychosis.[1] When discussing mental illness in general terms, "psychopathology" is considered a preferred descriptor.[2]
In English, the word "sane" derives from the Latin adjective sanus meaning "healthy". The phrase "mens sana in corpore sano" is often translated to mean a "healthy mind in a healthy body". From this perspective, insanity can be considered as poor health of the mind, not necessarily of the brain as an organ (although that can affect mental health), but rather refers to defective function of mental processes such as reasoning. Another Latin phrase related to our current concept of sanity is "compos mentis" (lit. "of composed mind"), and a euphemistic term for insanity is "non compos mentis". In law, mens rea means having had criminal intent, or a guilty mind, when the act (actus reus) was committed.
A more informal use of the term insanity is to denote something considered highly unique, passionate or extreme, including in a positive sense. A notable example has been the use of the phrase 'insanely great' in the launch of the Apple Macintosh, subsequently also used to describe one of its developers.[3][4] The term may also be used as an attempt to discredit particular ideas or their proponents, such as in politics.

Historical views and treatment[link]
Madness, the non-legal word for insanity, has been recognized throughout history in every known society. Primitive cultures turned to witch doctors or shamans to apply magic, herbal mixtures, or folk medicine to rid deranged persons of evil spirits or bizarre behavior, for example.[5] Archaeologists have unearthed skulls (at least 7000 years old) that have small round holes bored in them using flint tools. It has been conjectured that the subject may have been thought to have been possessed by devils which the holes would allow to escape.[6] However, more recent research on the historical practice of trepanation supports the hypothesis that this procedure was medical in nature and intended as means of treating cranial trauma.[7]
In ancient Israel it was held that disturbances of the mind or emotions were caused by "supernatural forces" or an angry God, as a punishment for sin or failure to follow the commandments. The Old Testament is replete with references to kings and commoners that go insane, and the Jewish prophets were thought to be psychologically abnormal because they acted in strange ways, departed markedly from the norm in appearance, and foretold of future events that few understood.[8]
The Greeks replaced concepts of the supernatural with a secular view, believing that afflictions of the mind did not differ from diseases of the body. They saw mental and physical illness as a result of natural causes and an imbalance in bodily humors. Hippocrates frequently wrote that an excess of black bile resulted in irrational thinking and behavior.[8]
Romans made further contributions to psychiatry, in particular the precursor to contemporary practice. They put forth the idea that strong emotions could lead to bodily ailments, the basis of today’s theory of psychosomatic illness. The Romans also supported humane treatment of the mentally ill, and to support such codified into law the principle of insanity as a mitigation of responsibility for criminal acts,[9] although the criterion for insanity was sharply set as the defendant had to be found "non compos mentis", a term meaning with "no power of mind".[10]

The Middle Ages, however, witnessed the end of the progressive ideas of the Greeks and Romans.[clarification needed]
During the 18th century, the French and the British introduced humane[citation needed] treatment of the clinically insane, though the criteria for diagnosis and placement in an asylum were considerably looser than today, often including such conditions as Speech disorder, speech impediments, epilepsy and depression.
Europe's oldest asylum is the Bethlem Royal Hospital of London, also known as Bedlam, which began admitting the mentally ill in 1403. The first American asylum was built in Williamsburg, Virginia, circa 1773. Before the 19th century these hospitals were used to isolate the mentally ill or the socially ostracized from society rather than cure them or maintain their health. Pictures from this era portrayed patients bound with rope or chains, often to beds or walls, or restrained in straitjackets.

Insanity is no longer considered a medical diagnosis but is a legal term in the United States, stemming from its original use in common law.[11] The disorders formerly encompassed by the term covered a wide range of mental disorders now diagnosed as organic brain syndromes, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychotic disorders.[1]
Legal use of the term[link]
In United States criminal law, insanity may serve as an affirmative defense to criminal acts and thus does not need to negate an element of the prosecution's case such as general or specific intent.[12] The States differ somewhat in their definition of insanity but most follow the guidelines of the Model Penal Code. All jurisdictions require a sanity evaluation to address the question first of whether or not the defendant has a mental illness.
Most courts accept a major mental illness such as psychosis but will not accept the diagnosis of a personality disorder for the purposes of an insanity defense. The second question is whether the mental illness interfered with the defendant's ability to distinguish right from wrong. That is, did the defendant know that the alleged behavior was against the law at the time the offense was committed.
Additionally, some jurisdictions add the question of whether or not the defendant was in control of their behavior at the time of the offense. For example, if the defendant was compelled by some aspect of their mental illness to commit the illegal act, the defendant could be evaluated as not in control of their behavior at the time of the offense.
The forensic mental health specialists submit their evaluations to the court. Since the question of sanity or insanity is a legal question and not a medical one, the judge and or jury will make the final decision regarding the defendant's status regarding an insanity defense.[13][14]
In most jurisdictions within the United States, if the insanity plea is accepted, the defendant is committed to a psychiatric institution for at least 60 days for further evaluation, and then reevaluated at least yearly after that.
Insanity is generally no defense in a civil lawsuit. However, in civil cases, the insanity of the plaintiff can toll the statute of limitations for filing a suit until the plaintiff has recovered from this condition, or until a statute of repose has run.
Feigned insanity[link]
Feigned insanity is the simulation of mental illness in order to avoid or lessen the consequences of a confrontation or conviction for an alleged crime. A number of treatises on medical jurisprudence were written during the nineteenth century, the most famous of which was Isaac Ray in 1838 (fifth edition 1871); others include Ryan (1832), Taylor (1845), Wharton and Stille (1855), Ordronaux (1869), Meymott (1882). The typical techniques as outlined in these works are the background for Dr. Neil S. Kaye's widely recognized guidelines that indicate an attempt to feign insanity.[15]
One particularly famous example of someone feigning insanity was the case of Mafia boss Vincent Gigante, who pretended for years to be suffering from dementia, and was often seen wandering aimlessly around his neighborhood in his pajamas muttering to himself. However, testimony from informants and surveillance showed that Gigante was in full control of his faculties the whole time, and ruled over his Mafia family with an iron fist.[16]
Today feigned insanity is considered malingering. In a 2005 court case, United States v. Binion, the defendant was prosecuted and convicted for obstruction of justice (adding to his original sentence) because he feigned insanity in a Competency to Stand Trial evaluation.
