unhingedness

State of derangement

The state of being mentally unstable or wildly irrational.

Unhingedness suggests a mind that has come loose from its moorings, like a door off its hinges: The unhingedness of his rants made everyone uncomfortable.

The word often describes erratic behavior that seems disconnected from normal reasoning or social constraints.
