Re: french take
I think there are at least two different kinds of 'crazy'. I know someone who is full blown bi-polar, has had at least 1 psychotic incident where they lost it,and now, for the first time in 6 or 7 years is FINALLY getting health care, and the drugs they need to start the journey to get their health better. During this last few months, they actually had a whole month where they didn't have the audible hallucination of people screaming, and although it returned, it is still much muted... Now, that is one kind of crazy. However, she is a lot more rational when it comes to day to day living than other people She at least KNOWS the voices in her head are self generated due to a chemical imbalance. You can have a rational discussion with her.
Other people who are supposedly 'sane', not so much.

Re: french take
On the other hand, they don't want a psychotic episode either. That can be very damaging, and if it goes too far, then they wouldn't be able to do their art anyway.
