From a medical-scientific standpoint, madness is characterized as biophysical imbalances and neurological malfunctions that cause symptoms ranging from frenzied behavior to utter insanity. But from a sociological perspective, madness is rooted in multifaceted cultural, socioeconomic, and environmental circumstances that create imbalances; not in the biochemistry of the brain, but in the living conditions of individuals?and societies?that go mad by default.
