all there

Of sound mind

Mentally alert and competent.

The phrase appears almost exclusively in negations: He's not all there, She isn't quite all there.

Someone who isn't all there may be slow-witted, senile, distracted, or simply odd.

The positive form is rare outside questions: Are you all there?
