Unhinged 'He became unhinged after his recent divorce.' Means upset to the Nth degree. But not certifiable(a candidate for commitment to a mental hospital). Not wrapped tight is a more recent colloquial phrase--means prone to mental disintegration. e.g., 'He's not wrapped tight'. A phrase I use is both old and funny and never fails to provoke amusement: 'He's taken leave of his senses'--means he's completely obsessed with some nutty enterprise or other. e.g., 'That women he wants to marry already has four small children from three fathers and she's only 24 years old. I do believe he has taken leave of his senses.'
