It's Time to Review Experts' Definitions of "Crazy"

There was a guy who was so bored that he went to a mental hospital and observed the mentally ill for several years. As a result...he saw that a doctor was really driven by a patient. As a result...he didn't go crazy, but instead became interested and opened a small shop. Clinic, to treat some mental patients who "escaped" from big hospitals.

He published some cases to the public: http://william-ho.lofter.com/post/6c3aa_12a70156a , and later published them together, which is quite popular. I have read "Genius is on the left, madman is on the right - the first interview notes of mental patients in China" (2010), "Notes of a Hypnotist" (2013), "Notes of a Hypnotist II" (2018).

From his treatment case, I can't read that he has any high-tech means. Even if there is, I think only those big hospitals can afford it?

In the new drama "Maniac" (Maniac, 2018), the group of high-IQ doctors tried to use artificial intelligence, a fashionable high-tech method, to completely solve the spiritual problems of human beings. As a result, in the process of driving themselves crazy, unexpectedly... ( no spoilers)

It seems that it is time for those experts in human beings to review their definition of "madness" and not be too far behind the little writer Gao Ming.
