Where is the limit between healthy mind and madness.....

I think that the border between health and disorder when in comes to the mind is very relative. Some authors think that we should take the adaptation as a criteria to distinguish who is mentaly healthy and who is not, but as we know there are a lot of famous psychopaths who did't have any problem into their social adjustment. So how can we recognize those who have psychopathology from those who don't? I remember I read somewhere about an experiment where a group of perfectly healthy people who acted crazy and they were institutionalized. When the got to a madhouse they started to act like they always do and no one from the staff noticed that they were normal. After they told that this was an experiment they were released , but another clinic chalanged them to send another group . After a month the clinic declared that they found a group of 40 people who were faking their illness when in fact the experementers did't send anyone to the clinic. What do you think about that?
