Huh?
I would have said mentally ill if i meant mentally ill.
I separate genuine mental illness from psychotically deranged/unhinged/angry where the individual is entirely in control of their actions

Have you ever been on a pshychiatric ward?
I have as a visitor! Psychiatric patients (when they are not in the middle of a crisis) have the sharpest most hillarious sense of humour. They are so good at laughing at themselves and clever with it. If any of them would be replying to this thread they'd have us in stitches

No I just can't, I'd want to fix them all and come home depressed. My biggest wonder of the world is why people are born suffering. But that's great that you seen that, so they had some normality

It was very very upsetting to see them in crisis and especislly the person I was visiting but sometimes even in crisis some one would through out a comment or a joke ... Amazing beautiful souls... fortunately many many do get better

A girl, i was friends with once, on first day of being admitted to a mental ward went to the lounge and saw people stoned into oblivion and she thought lord whats wrong with all these people!!! The next day she said there she was, her mouth hanging open and stoned out of her mind- major tranquilizers.

My Sister works for Osawatomie State Mental Hospital (Kansas) She has been there for many years...She is always telling me of thing that go on there...She says many are fine laughing and joking one minute, and kicking, biting, and swing the next minute...never knowing what to expect from one minute to the next..
