This has nothing to do with religion. This is a general question for anybody about anybody.
Yesterday, I was having one of those responsive conversation (responsive conversation is when someone starts a conversation with you and you carry the conversation just to be polite) with someone. He started the conversation with one topic, changed the topic into 15 different topics and ended the conversation with the topic he started off with at first.
I see this as a clear sign of someone being %26quot;NUTS%26quot;.
How can you tell if someone is crazy?
Seriously, how can you tell if someone is crazy or at least not all there?
they show signs or mental instability. but that sounds like a case of ADD

disordered or non-sequential thinking certainly *can* be indicative of some deeper pathology, but it could also simply be someone who is under stress, suffers from adhd, or just plain drunk (or high)...or many other reasons.
Also, let me please ask you (and others) not to use the word %26quot;crazy%26quot;. It's derogatory. If someone truly has a severe mental illness, then you can be sure that they didn't ask for it, don't want it, and did nothing to deserve it.
Well, I didn't hear what the guy had to say, so maybe he was nuts. But frequent topic change isn't really the best sign of insanity in and of itself. Lots of people are non-linear thinkers, and carry on conversations in a stream-of-consciousness manner. I do it. Maybe I'm crazy, though.
