dottier
Less mentally sound
Dottier is the comparative form of dotty, meaning more eccentric, scatterbrained, or slightly mad.
British in flavor, dotty suggests harmless peculiarity rather than genuine mental illness: She's gotten dottier with age.
To be dotty about something is to be infatuated with it: He's dottier about trains than his brother ever was.
