Preferred term
madness
Definition
- In contemporary language, the term madness is often used synonymously with words such as mental illness and psychopathology to refer to disordered mental states and abnormal behaviors. However, while these terms designate medical and psychological conceptions of internal disorder, the concept of madness as examined in social theory is much more encompassing.
