How do crazy people think?

Question

I mean if an insane person got his sanity back how would he descibe his thoughts when insane?

Answer 1

are you reffering to someone with mental health? like a person who is autistik in the head??!!

well i have a neighbor like that and he would jut go in peoples backyards and take food from them.

did you try asking an insane how he/she felt? maybe that would work but not sucha great idea.

not sure really

Answer 2

if you're insane you probably don't know you're insane, he might think it's normal. Like maybe he thinks he's been living on a pink fluffy cloud. actually, that's probably only good if he got his sanity back gradually...if he got it suddenly, he might find it a bit of a shock... i dunno, i've never been insane.

Answer 3

Insane people tend to lack empathy. They often don't have a conscience either. They do whatever stimulates them in order to fill an urge. A murderer will kill someone because he/she had an urge to see someone die. They don't think of the pain they will cause that person or their family left behind.  

Answer 4

I dunno. I've never been insane, and don't plan on becoming insane... but I can make some guesses.

There are different types of "crazy". Some people see things that aren't there, hear things that aren't there, have problems making decisions, can't control their emotions, can't control their body, etc.

When they're "healthy" again, they can probably list a few symptoms for you... "I had schizophrenia and kept hearing someone tell me to eat apples, but there was no one there" or a few experiences "once I dropped a desk drawer on my food on purpose, but I don't know why". Sometimes their logic is off "I hated being fat, but being fat made me so mad, that I couldn't stop eating... only food made me feel better". Sometimes they'd go from happy to sad to mad to emotionless within a matter of hours... and all they can describe is the feelings, like colors or tastes.

I guess you'd have to actually go crazy to know exactly what a crazy person thinks... but then again, each thinks differently.

Good question, though. Interesting to think about.
