Yes, I see the point about crazy. Context matters. I find it sweet when used in a romantic context, "I'm crazy for that girl," however if you expand that context further in some situations it sounds obsessive or tragic rather than romantic. Most of the time I hear crazy I don't like the way it's being used.

TDurden, I agree with what your saying about the DSM in the medical and business world. However in my life it has had its uses. The DSM helped me to understand personality disorders and better protect myself, as well as recognize the traits like lack of empathy and superficial affect. It helped me develop better judgment.
