A Washington Post Finest Kid’s Book of 2018 Who’s Crazy? What does it indicate to be crazy? Is using the word insane offensive? What happens when a label like that gets connected to your everyday experiences? To understand mental health, we need to talk freely about it. Since there’s no single meaning of crazy, there’s no single experience that embodies it, and the word itself suggests different things– wild? extreme? interrupted? passionate?– to different individuals. In (Don’t) Call Me Crazy, thirty-three actors, professional athletes, writers, and artists use essays, lists, comics, and illustrations that explore a large range of topics: their personal experiences with mental illness, how we do and don’t discuss mental health, help for better understanding how every person’s brain is wired in a different way, and what, exactly, might make somebody crazy. If you’ve ever struggled with your psychological health, or know someone who has, come on in, turn the pages … and let’s get talking.
