A quick definition of insane:

Insane means that someone's mind is not working properly. They might believe things that are not true and cannot be convinced otherwise. This can make it hard for them to understand what is real and what is not. Sometimes, if someone is insane, they cannot be held responsible for their actions because they do not understand what they are doing. This is called legal insanity. There are different types of insanity, like emotional insanity where someone's emotions make them act in a crazy way, and temporary insanity where someone is only insane for a short time.

A more thorough explanation:

Insane is an adjective used to describe someone who is mentally deranged. This means they have one or more false beliefs or delusions that have no basis in reality or reason. These beliefs cannot be changed by any amount of evidence or argument, and are not credible to any reasonable person of sound mind.

Insanity is a legal term used to describe any mental disorder that is severe enough to prevent a person from having legal capacity and excuses them from criminal or civil responsibility. It is a legal standard, not a medical one.

For example, if someone believes that they are a superhero and can fly, even though this is not possible, they may be considered insane. This false belief has no basis in reality or reason, and cannot be changed by evidence or argument.

Another example of insanity is when someone commits a crime but is not held responsible because they have a mental disorder that prevents them from understanding the consequences of their actions.

It is important to note that insanity is not the same as being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Overall, insanity is a legal term used to describe a mental disorder that is severe enough to excuse a person from criminal or civil responsibility.
