Folks, it's a name. A name I picked -- hate it, love it, does it really matter? I had a number of criteria I had to meet to determine an appropriate name, so it wasn't done on a whim. "Insanity" is a term that has a long, long history and has only entered into legal nomenclature relatively recently. I don't put any positive or negative connotation on it.

As for its validity, it's a screening measure, which means it hopefully gives you some insight into possible issues in your life. No more, no less. It doesn't diagnose, nor does it intend to. But it can help -- and has helped thousands -- to walk down a road to figuring out whether they should consult a mental health professional for further help.

While I think it's also fun to try and second-guess the perfect nomenclature for public services like this, I'm not sure what the point ultimately is, other than an intellectual exercise in phrasing or labels. And as anyone who knows me, I put little faith into labels.
