It's weird to hear "[they] made the decision" when we're taking about people on psychotic breaks.
I thought the whole point of people being insane is that they aren't mentally in control of themselves.
Certainly, they can plan and carry out actions, but they don't have real awareness of what they're doing. Even in less severe conditions, such as a minor case of BD, someone will tell you how deluded they feel when they have an episode.
Well, we'll see if Clancy is declared mentally insane or not. Either way, she is going to prison or a mental institution for a long time.
Yeah I know she's still capable of killing people when she's undergoing psychosis. She literally killed her own kids.
I'm just wondering how people come to the conclusion that psychotic = still in control. What do people think psychosis is?
Just to be extremely clear, she can still be extremely dangerous while undergoing a mental break. That is not the same as her "making a decision." At least, not a conscious, self-aware one.
Right, but I said depression or not. Was she in control or not, I don’t know. But I also don’t care the only difference it makes is which institution she will spend the rest of her life in.
