I do believe that some serious mental health problem can cause one to commit a violent crime and I do believe that it should be used to defend him/her as they are prosecuted. However, I also believe that the defense method is abused in some cases.

Seems to me that each generation inherits all our inherited and innovated problems, and hardly enough education in life skills for people to learn how to adequately cope with every situation. Well, at least with current education, people will at least know the name, height and material of the mountain they might one day end up jumping off!

I've been watching video lectures and documentaries on one of conspiracy theories, and these video lectures and documentaries discuss how today's education system is designed. These video lectures and documentaries essentially argue that today's education system is not designed to make people smart, strong or intelligent. Pretty interesting.

I have to agree with you there to a large extent. TV is fundamentally not designed to make you think. TV is designed to feed you data, and it moves data one way and one way only. There is no communication.

Do you think mental health reasons should be allowed as a viable defence for serious crime?
