I can't stand this tactical mental health trend. Its shocking that people use it to brush of criminal behaviour and also rude and ignorant behaviour. Got someone like that at work who is rude, ignorant, unhelpful, unapproachable but waves the mental health card if anyone complains. Its shocking because there are many who suffer proper mental ill health yet they know the difference between right and wrong and they're not ill mannered and abusive.
I wonder how many of these lawyers can be arsed to obtain medical records to prove whether a criminal has been treated for any mental health conditions, or not.
