Unright, there was this play that i saw recently, The Physicists. It's about this asylum where all the people in the asylum weren't insane, except for the actual owner in the asylum. Once you isolate a particular asylum and its inmates, it would be impossible to determine whether the inmates are actually insane or not. It is important that there is some relative thing to which the behavior can be compared, some form of control. It is entirely possible for the psychiatrist to brainwash you but it is unlikely to happen in today's context.
But if you imagine yourself to be one of the inmates, you would never believe you were insane.
