To your way of thinking, how do you define sanity? What does sanity look like?

Sanity. Sane. The opposite of insane. The definition of insane is afflicted with or characteristic of mental derangement. This could only mean that sane is the complete opposite. In my opinion, defining sanity is just as much saying that you're pretty much not crazy, or mentally deranged.

I don't think sanity can look like anything. Human beings are easily fooled. You think you know someone, but the next thing you do know is that they're some psycho serial killer.

In contrast to that, what does insanity look like? Sound like? Act Like?

Pretty much just look at my first answer to answer this question. In a fish bowl though, I would say that insanity is pure craziness. Hectic. Psychotic. Mentally unstable. What does it sound like? It sounds like hell. What does it act like? Insanity is the act of delinquency of the mind. You do things, but you don't exactly know why. Impulsiveness.

Does our society demonize insanity? Or, does our society seem to revel in and make celebrities out of people struggling with mental illness?

Our society is corrupted. We make entertainment out of other people's sorrow for our pure enjoyment. I want to say that demonizing is the same as making fun of people's pain. It seems that no one has sympathy anymore. We are all just.. just... insensitive towards people's actions and etc.

What personal struggles or challenges are often partnered with mental illness?

Depression. Its considered a major mental illness. Especially in America. The struggles that come along with depression are usually the things that helped sparked it, enabled the mental illness. Examples would be such as the falling economy, or maybe a break up in a relationship, or even family issues.

In your own life, how have you known or experienced mental illness?

I'm not one to lie, but I don't want to brag either. I'm depressed. I have anxiety attacks. Sometimes it feels like I can't feel. Oxymoron right? Take it more in a metaphorical sense. I've experienced many things, I have a tendency of becoming exceptionally emotional. I have mental break downs, I think of the worst too much. Why? I'm not exactly sure. I've always been told to be prepared for the worst. But what if the worst hits you when you least expect it? And thats when you break down your interior and become a different, less of a person.

How has your generation been influenced by medical interventions for depression?

I wanna say that everyones screwed in the head now. Decades ago you would never hear anything about this. Ever. But now it seems like its the only topic of conversation. Its absolutely ridiculous.
