Louis Riel is often described as "crazy" due to his erratic behavior and mental health struggles, particularly during the latter part of his life. He experienced episodes of delusions and paranoia, which some attribute to a messianic complex as he believed he was chosen to lead the Métis people. His actions, including leading the Red River and North-West Rebellions, were seen as radical and contributed to perceptions of his instability. However, many argue that his mental health issues were exacerbated by the intense pressures of his leadership role and the socio-political context of his time.
