The only other time I've heard this is in the song "Ohio." Which came first, the song or the saying?

In Ireland it is an oft used word. When someone is feeling very low we might say "He is in a bad state" or "She is in a terrible state" Just a little additional information, when someone has had too much to drink and the effects are obvious it can be said that "He/She is in some state". Just one more, when a person is looking disheveled we often say "Look at the state of him/her.

For what it's worth, I don't think one would interpret "he is in a crazy state" as "he's acting crazy"; more like "it's crazy, the state he's in!" But all the same, it's not a phrase anyone's likely to use.

Why is "he is in a strange condition" not accepted when the previous lession told us état = condition/ shape?

I chose, "he is in a peculiar mind frame." I was marked wrong. I'm not sure why that would be wrong.
