My moral compass was seemingly intact but psychosis itself is tricky. I believed that framing a friend for a crime would save the world because he was secretly the devil. So moral compass, saving the world is better than one persons rights especially if he’s the devil but what did I do really? Not all psychosis is created equal, especially when some people lose insight so they don’t even know they’re psychotic.
You almost have to lock up anyone who has lost touch to that extent but I feel jail is never appropriate because I read about people dying from lack of AC. Antipsychotics take away temperature regulation making it easier to simply die in summer. I feel there needs to be a graduated housing plan with people convicted of crimes starting where they are at mentally. Ie no contact with reality housed in a special prison like psych unit but with correct meds etc and AC. As people return to reality I would imagine more of the classic asylum where you can go outside in fenced areas, color etc.
I’m not sure that anyone who’s killed can ever be returned to society but for smaller transgressions they might.
