I only have experience with the US. My experience has been that if people detect even a hint of eccentric or crackpot about you, they hospitalize you at worst, shun you on average, and condescend to you like an invalid at best. With the right context, you might be able to spin it into an acceptable narrative, for example if you are an artist. From what I have read, other countries offer more such narratives.
