35 – Are you mad?

No, I'm a bit pissed off at the clanging and shouting going on outside my window, but that's all.

Further astonishment can be gained by reflecting on the medieval toolbox we have been handed (and which many wield with glee) to help us talk about the orders and disorders of the mind.
