Mental Health Concerns
Mental Health Concerns
Mental health issues can play a significant role in criminal charges, impacting an individual’s ability to understand or control their actions. Addressing these cases requires a compassionate legal approach that balances accountability with the need for treatment.
Understanding Mental Health in Criminal Law
Criminal cases involving mental health concerns often include:
- Conditions like PTSD, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.
- Charges stemming from actions influenced by mental health crises.
- A need for rehabilitative support rather than punitive measures.
The criminal justice system often lacks the resources to adequately address mental health needs, making skilled legal representation essential.
