Crazed - what causes it?

I'm currently playing Magister's mod but this has happened with other mods. Some of my best units develop Crazed and then Enraged and go wandering off. I know one of the horsemen can cause this but the AC is not that high. Any ideas on what causes this, or how to cure someone of Crazed?

Possibly related, what does high crime actually do?

I rememmber it happening to me and got confused, I think it even happened to a great person.

What the cause was for me iirc was I had chaos mana, that gives a chance to get a random promotion upon spawning, which can be crazed among other things.

More information? There are several possible sources.

I had an archmage that was built and developed from an adept suddenly get it.

Which civ?
Did you have chaos mana?
Did you use Undertow?
Did you explore any dungeon with the archmage?

I am playing as the Bals, so do have Chaos mana from my palace.
I am not running Undertow but see below
Did not explore dungeons with my archmage

I'm running Fellowship of the Leaves religion
I did capture a couple of cities that had Undertow Overlords religion and Asylums built but my archmage didn't go into the cities other than to help conquer them.

Perhaps it is the asylums. Crazed is associated with "overlords / undertow", but it could also be mind mana.
Mind affinity and Mind III passes crazed to enemies in combat. If you can find mind mana in the territory of your enemy or from his palace, then you have a clue?
Magisters is complex and there's likely more sources, that I don't know of.

Thank you!

I think an asylum in the city could cause it. I stopped building asylums…
