Clarisse isn't crazy in Fahrenheit 451. She just seems like it to the people in the novel, so that's how they label her.
She pays attention to nature, takes walks for fun, likes to talk and have conversations, isn't afraid to talk about love and other feelings, and belongs to a family that sits in their backyard and talks.
Members of her society, on the other hand, sit for hours in front of mindless television (hmm, sounds familiar), don't have real conversations, don't consider nature, don't walk for pleasure, and don't think for themselves.
Clarisse is unusual for her society. Thus, they label her crazy.
