Insanity can manifest itself in various forms:

• Bipolar disorder: A condition characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from manic highs to depressive lows.
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): A mental health disorder distinguished by persistent and intrusive thoughts (obsessions) leading to repetitive behaviors (compulsions).

Signs that may indicate insanity:

• Hallucinations: Sensing things that are not present in reality.
• Delusions: Holding on to false beliefs despite evidence to the contrary.
• Disorganized thinking: Incoherent or illogical thought patterns.

• Psychotherapy: Engaging in therapy sessions to explore and address underlying psychological issues.
• Hospitalization: In severe cases, hospital stays may be necessary for intensive treatment and supervision.
• Supportive care: Providing a supportive environment and emotional assistance to enhance the individual’s well-being.
