I have read unlimited news in which a person has knowingly laced the food items of a person with something to make him mad to fulfill an ill purpose like succession of property, frustration due to failure in love etc.

@F1Krazy check the last paragraphs of my answer... Usually, when you find someone who has lead poisoning, you may be sure to find thousanda more around. Also, this relates to finding a source of contamination that may be common in certain areas. And we have had less specific questions before.

Mad, as a colloquium, is to broad and is archaic enough in it's usage here to require further clarification. Do you mean delusional, reduced risk aversion, pan-esthetic, or some other psycho reactive symptom?

Lead
From the wiki:
Lead poisoning can cause a variety of symptoms and signs which vary depending on the individual and the duration of lead exposure.Symptoms are nonspecific and may be subtle (...) Poisoning by organic lead compounds has symptoms predominantly in the central nervous system, such as insomnia, delirium, cognitive deficits, tremor, hallucinations, and convulsions.
Symptoms may be different in adults and children; the main symptoms in adults are headache, abdominal pain, memory loss, kidney failure, male reproductive problems, and weakness, pain, or tingling in the extremities.
Early symptoms of lead poisoning in adults are commonly nonspecific and include depression, loss of appetite, intermittent abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and muscle pain. Other early signs in adults include malaise, fatigue, decreased libido, and problems with sleep. An unusual taste in the mouth and personality changes are also early signs.
The creepy thing about all of this is that supposedly the US once banned toys imported from China because many were coated in lead (because all the cheapest paints for plastic contain it), so kids could get poisoned. What this means is that in our world nowadays, specially in poor countries were there is not much oversight on this, lead poisoning is a common risk. The non-specificity of the symptoms makes it hard for people, mostly the poor and without access to public health care, to know what is happening to them.
You can get poisoned with lead by drinking contaminated water. An easy source of contamination are pipes that contain lead. Guess why plumbers are called plumbers (hint: check the periodic table). In ancient Rome people got contaminated by drinking from vessels made of lead.

The thing about lead is that it is a long term contaminant, like the rest of the heavy metals. The OP's question isn't really clear as to the timeframe

I have read unlimited news in which a person has knowingly laced the food items of a person with something to make him mad to...
(This is a "frame challenge" answer.)
fulfil an ill purpose like succession of property
That's mind control.
frustration due to failure in love etc.
And a love potion.
