Reads unhinged rather than wild. Not 'crazy like a party' — 'crazy like a diagnosis'. Some readers will find it uncomfortable.

Meaning

mad; deranged
Actually
Madness or derangement. The character in 狂気 (insanity) and in a number of terms that are now considered offensive toward mentally ill people.

Scores
