Insanity refers specifically to a legal definition concerning an individual's mental state during the commission of a crime, indicating an inability to distinguish right from wrong due to mental illness. In contrast, abnormality encompasses a broader range of behaviors, thoughts, or feelings that deviate from societal norms, but not all abnormal behaviors are linked to legal implications or mental illness. While insanity is a narrow concept primarily used in legal contexts, abnormality can refer to various psychological or behavioral issues without necessarily implicating legal responsibility.
