If I pounded back a 26 of rye, and threw back a bunch of uppers (sorry, I am not familiar with drug lingo) knocked on my neighbours door, hacked their heads off and ate them, I would be jailed for life. But I wasn't myself when I did it? Was I? In my eyes, it is exactly the same level of irresponsibility, as a man who neglected his responsibility to take his medication, that prevents him from violent, murderous, thoughts and outbursts.
