<p>It seems like both of them refer to going crazy because of something. </p>

<p>Ex. 别被她冲昏了头脑</p>

<p>Ex. 你让我快抓狂</p>

<p>Can someone please help me differentiate when you would use which? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

it is 冲昏头脑 and 抓狂，examining the examples at jukuu, will show that the former refers to swelling s.o.'s head, becoming dizzy (with success), s.th. going to s.o.'s head, the latter refers to simple craziness, frenzy, madness etc.

All means mad，but different types of mad.

“冲昏” means you are so mad that you have already lost your mind.

“抓狂”means you are so mad but you do not know what to do.
