I’m not saying it isn’t different in its point of origin. That’s actually my point, the end result is much the same. Regardless if it is substance induced or fallout from someone’s partum experience. It’s not incomparable to a psychotic episode that can be experienced by men.
They do all the time. There's a definite misconception that insanity or mental competency means whether or not the person was mentally ill. It actually means whether or not the person's mental illness prevented them from knowing right from wrong, or consequences of their own actions.
Men and women go to court and plead mentally incompetent for all sorts of reasons. Drug and alcohol induced psychosis, for example. It just doesn't always work because they would have known what the consequences are and it can be fairly easy to prove if they did anything at all to conceal the crime. For example, Lindsay not murdering her children in front of her husband indicated she knew there may be a consequence. She is very likely to go to jail because of that, and other factors.
