craziness
State of insanity
Craziness is the quality of being crazy—wild, irrational, or mentally unhinged.
It describes behavior that defies logic or expectation: The craziness of the stock market left investors reeling.
It can be affectionate shorthand for chaotic fun: I miss the craziness of college.
Or it names genuine instability: There's a streak of craziness in that family.
