Best Answer

Very simplified - someone who is a bit (or a lot) crazy. But mental illnesses come in a wide variety of forms and shapes, so it can be quite complicated. Some people become obsessive about things, (like checking over and over again that the water is turned off), others become delusional and unable to interpret what's going on around them correctly.
