Shutter Island ending *MAJOR SPOILER.*

What does everyone think about the ending? A few people I know agree with me, it was a mindfuck. Other's on here said yeah predictable ending.

I read Wiki and it basically said yeah Teddy was insane.

But I don't know if he was, I think his story seems pretty legit.

1. He was interesting in the island, took on the case.
2. Dr Cawley read his file and knew what his intentions were and had a plan to make him go mad.
3. If it was roleplay why did the mental woman he was interviewing write "RUN" on his book?
4. He had hallucinations, which says he is mad.. But when he was in the cave with the 'real Solando' she asked if he'd taken medication from the DR - he had. And she said have you at least smoked your own cigarettes? He hadn't.
Did he just imagine her and that whole conversation? Was she put there to lead him to the lighthouse?
5. Why would they empty the lighthouse to explain nothing is going on there.. and then put everything back and lobotomise him at the end?

Sane/insane?
