Are you male?: Sometimes "craziness" is arbitrary. There are clear criteria for psychiatric diagnosis, and i was fortunate to have worked with professors at washington university who helped establish "clinical criteria" for the diagnosis of psychiatric illness! a person seeing their pcp, with possible referral to a psychiatrist, should be able to establish the diagnosis and treatment, if needed!

What do you mean?: Are you a male? Are you referring to women in general or to one specific woman? I provide psychiatric medications to many women (although only a very small percentage are "crazy"). Your question is hard to understand.
