insaneness
State of lunacy
Insaneness is the quality or state of being insane—a less common variant of insanity.
It describes extreme mental disturbance or, more loosely, utter foolishness: the sheer insaneness of the plan.
The longer form appears occasionally in speech and writing but insanity dominates in both clinical and casual contexts.
