Being a stalker doesn't make you crazy. In our pop-culture world we have plenty of stalkers and I'd bet they're not completely out of their minds; just suddenly obsessed over a particular person(s). Also, I don't know how many HNers have actually interacted with a person who is locked-up because they've been labeled insane. I can say that my dad & wife have interacted with many in their line of work and what I've learned from them is that even a lot of those that are locked up are not totally out of their minds. Usually it's some kind of environmental stimulus that triggers their "madness". But in a controlled facility (sometimes with medication as well) they can tell very coherent stories of their childhood, what school(s) they went to, what they did yesterday, about their parents/siblings, etc. Don't automatically discount the views of a crazy person. More often than not they're not totally 100% crazy, just have certain issues that make them unable to function in our society. I personally believe her illustrations are mostly accurate if for no other reason than the "unnatural" rush of comments trying to discredit her.
