She was the wife of a president at war with his own nation. She came from slave-owning parents from a Confederation-supporting Kentucky town. They lost 2 of their children to illness before and while he was in the White House. She had an addiction to some serious (now illegal) medications on the market at the time. Lincoln was "on the road" most of their marriage, and had his own demons. Yes she was crazy, although it looks more like coping under those circumstances.
