Actually, it's the act of trying to make another person feel they are insane or going insane when in fact there's nothing wrong with the person.


Added: Or is that what you meant?

Absolutely, David. I could not have said it better. LOL. I'll try again: an insane person trying to make a sane person believe s/he (the sane one) is insane.

Would a normal person try to make someone believe he or she is insane?
