I happen to take the stance that we do it right now and we are doing the right thing, mental illness or not. The fact I mention this make me frustrating and scary? Go sit in a court room for a day.
Based on some of the posts I have read in this thread, someone drinking and driving shouldn't be punished either, since they are not really in control of their decisions and because (I think) alcoholism is a disease.

What is frustrating and scary is that people have literally no, zero, (0), understanding of mental illness. Alcoholism is a mental illness just like schizophrenia? Very scary and very frustrating.
