No you're not crazy, and it's sad
Question marked as
You don't.
There is no known malware that can affect an iPhone.
There's no way to install spyware, unless someone had physical access to your unlicked iPhone with a computer for an extended period of time.
There are no apps that check for these things, since due to the nature of iOS, there's no way for them to scan outside of the their own designated app area. iOS is sandboxes, that means apps cannot access areas outside of their own app sandbox.
If you explain what issue you are experiencing, someone may be able to an advise, but it's almost certainly not malware or spyware.

Completely false. If you scroll and read every reason for software update directly from Apple, clearly this tells us that there vulnerabilities and malware if very possible along with remote access codes. Whoever believes this is not true, is uninformed

You do understand, Apple is fixing those issues? The fact they are fixed means they cannot be used. Almost none of security fixes apple published involve remote hacking, spyware or malware in any way. And only a very limited few have been known to have been actively exploited at one time. Most fixes Apple publishes happen before the actual vulnerability is known or even used on any one.
There are vulnerabilities in different parts of the OS, mostly dealing with website access. Most vulnerabilities require a ton of time, and resources to actually exploit. Unless you are a high value target, nobody is going to spend time and money to hack Joe Schmoe's iPhone.
There is absolutely no way anyone can remotely monitor or access your iPhone in the ways being suggested here.
Most hacks of devices involve access to data on them, not accessing the camera or microphone to listen to anyone.
Ok then
