What can drive someone to insanity? Certainly, insanity is
something that is commonly understood
(or misunderstood) and usually carries
some sort of stigma in the popular consciousness. If you believe in modern
psychology and psychiatry, there are literally thousands of forms of insanity
that a person can end up developing over a lifetime. Some of them, like
depression, are temporary, while others, like social anxiety, require more work
for a person to get through. However, there appears to be some commonality as
to what actually brings about most of the forms of insanity that people go
through. Which brings the question to bear: is there a common, underlying trigger
that compromises the stability of a person's mental health?
