Guy, if you don't understand that schizophrenia and bipolar disorders are serious mental illnesses that will cause people to do things they might not otherwise do, and that they have no control over this, I can't see where there is even basis for discussion. As others have politely pointed out, you need to educate yourself about these illnesses.
Now, when we talk about "disorders" caused by regular societal pressures and everyday life, that's another issue. I don't thik being raised in a broken home, for example, is any sort of excuse for becoming a bankrobber.
But these are completely different things.
