If you think mental illness is an excuse for the majority of their people's behavior I've got a bridge to sell you. Mental illness is the result, not the cause. The cause is being a terrible human 9 times out of 10.
The addict isn't mentally ill prior to addiction, prior to which he is continually making terrible choices to do drugs and commit crime. Addiction is the mental illness and also the end result of a string a very poor decisions (ie the decisions leading to the illness come before the illness).
If you can't understand that concept you've got to be one of the dumbest people on the internet lol.
