The word "crazy" doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as the word "insane" does, in that sometimes people joke around and call each other crazy when they mean it to have a more humorous connotation.
Insane could be used in this way as well.
But usually the word insane just means out of touch with sanity, which is most closely defined with psychotic, or having a break from reality.
Therefore, it is debatable as to if there even really is a difference. It really depends on what is meant when either word is being used.
Remember that most every word has both a connotative and a denotative meaning.
Some words are meant to be taken more literally than others.
