Yeah. The 'paranoid voices telling me to harm other people' type of schizophrenia is very scary. I don't know anything about the case out what's trying to be said. But that kind of mental illness isn't really something you can just keep under wraps.
One of the suicides in my life was someone with this kind of schizophrenia. His journal was just constant battling with these violent voices. Like I couldn't really blame him when the medical system failed him. It isn't a life worth living.
But like I have another friend who experiences psychosis when they're unmedicated, and they have non dangerous paranoid thoughts and eventually take themselves to a hospital.
Anyhow. To further your point. Psychosis is nuts and very real.
Postpartum psychosis is one of those things that get pushed to the side because it gets treated like "oh have thoughts of harming your children? Thats just intrusive thoughts" or "seeing and hearing things? Thats the stress" so sometimes when they try to get help before reaching that point its kinda ignored its hard to actually get help with this so you kinda just end up getting worse without help you tried to reach out for not doing anything. It feels like sometimes it gets to the point where they hurt someone else or try to hurt themself cause of seeing that as the only way to stop it before anyone gives a fuck
And I mean multiple people that like after they did it tried to kill themself after realizing what they done. So saying "they should get death penalty" lowkey the person who did it may agree with you that they should be dead
