Answers:
I guess drinking a lot of saltwater could increase blood sodium levels to dangerous or lethal levels!. I don't know that you'd call it "going crazy" exactly, but hypernatremia caused by excess sodium intake would cause mental status disturbances the same as in dehydration -- confusion, lethargy, etc!.

Wikipedia has a page on hypernatremia: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Hypernatrem!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

halfway down the page!.!.!.

Human Consumption of Seawater!.
