It means 'extremely crazy'.
Milliners (hat-makers) used to use Mercury nitrate to soften the felt that went into making the hats. Breathing mercury vapors leads to a life-threatening condition known as mercury poisoning; the damage to the brain leads to slurred speech, loss of coordination, dementia, hallucinations, and finally death.
This stereotype of the mad hatter is famously personified in Lewis Carroll's - and later, Disney's - famous character of the same name. These days, anyone who has wild mood swings and a short attention span (especially if they're also clumsy) is at risk of being labeled 'mad as a hatter'.
