derangedly

In manic fashion

Derangedly is an adverb describing action done in a mentally disturbed, disordered, or unhinged manner.

It suggests behavior that deviates wildly from what's normal or rational: She laughed derangedly at the news, unsettling everyone in the room.

The word carries connotations of madness or extreme psychological disturbance, though it's sometimes used hyperbolically to describe any erratic or bizarre conduct.
