for something one wants to believe. Politics/social issues have turned out to be a dangerously slippery slope for some.

I often wonder these days what the difference between legal insanity and how psychologists see it would be, and when some of these people might qualify as effectively legally insane. If intense counseling can reattach people to reality, does that meant they're not technically "crazy?" But who's going to get that?
