We never really hear the term crazy, it is often pointed out that Holmes is very eccentric. These eccentricities are almost always attributed in one way or another to his genius mind and his inability to quiet his thoughts. Often Holmes's actions come into question, leaving Watson and the reader to wonder if Sherlock has finally gone over the edge. Without fail the situation which left us wondering about his sanity inevitably turns out to be nothing less than a stroke of genius. When Holmes explains events, he restores our faith in his sanity.

This is of course just my opinion; but, I have read most things by and about him and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
