Having BP does not mean you are psychotic. Being psychotic does not mean you are BP.. But those that are psychotic would not be in touch with reality. Agreed. So I understand what you are saying. People with psychosis *irrespective* of whether they are BP or not should be given special consideration.

But does this adequately explain all with BP who commit criminal acts? I think this is the more useful question. FWIW
