Mad or sad
Some people who suffer from anxiety may appear to look and do things a little differently to which an outsider may find funny, depending on the outsider of course.

Yes I would say sufferers are mad, mad with the ignoramuses who continue to add to their torment.
And saddened furthermore at how their tomentors proudly show their ignorance behind the meaning of the word compassion.
