But the solution i guess is two mental health categories.

One category for the bad actors who suffer mental health issues because of the shame, dread, and fear of facing consequences from terrible and potentially illegal choices they made that hurt others.

And another for everyone else needing help (the non-bad actors).
I get the idea. But it isn't that binary. In this case it seems like it is because of the horrific nature of what happens. But how do you draw that line with what a bad actor is.

If a person has a gambling addiction and as a result causes their family to go deep into debt are they a "bad actor".

What if someone develops alcoholism and loses his/her job as a result, causing their family to be in financial crisis. Are they a bad person.

The extremes are easier.

But most of the cases aren't on the extremes.
