SANE
Trauma care specialist
Sane describes a state of mental soundness and rationality, often contrasted with insanity.
Historically, the term has been used in legal contexts to determine a person’s ability to understand and participate in judicial proceedings.
In psychiatry, sanity is not a clinical diagnosis but a colloquial term for mental health.
The word originates from the Latin <b>sanus</b>, meaning healthy, and was first applied to mental health in the 17th century.
The court ruled that the defendant was sane and fit to stand trial.
