In the book REBBE NACHMAN'S WISDOM, Rebbe Nachman explains that before a person comes close to a Tzaddik, he feels and believes that he is more or else alright, just in need of a "tune-up" in getting closer to Hashem. However, once he comes close to a Tzaddik, all of his impurities deep within come out and surface.
It can be compared to boiling impurified water, where as it boils all of the impurities within rise and surface.
So too, as a person comes close to and follows the advice of the Tzaddikim, impurities from within come out and surface, for the intent of being removed. So basically it is a purification process.
So, people who are already "wacko" within, it just surfaces when they come close to Rebbe Nachman and his teachings. By contrast, there are also those who patiently wait and continue until the refinement process is completed and become God-fearing and righteous individuals in their own right.

As liked to a fever which burns away the klipah (dross). Some will burn with lusts and unholy thoughts as the impurities raise, and others, will be purified as they take refuge in איה שרה אשתך הִנֵּה בָאֹהֶל all by the same Torah.
