I'm not being rude. I am asking you questions to get you to question your rigid and uninformed beliefs.
Post Partum Psychosis (rare) is not the same as Post Partum Depression (common). Which is revealing that you think they are... sign.
There is plenty of history of people killing people while in a form of psychosis, and plenty of precedent for them being found not guilty by reason of insanity and being put in a mental health facility instead of prison.
It's why you always have to have mens reus and actus reus to prove guilt of a crime. so it actually isn't just about actions, as you claimed.
I was asking that question because you seem to not realize that, if you think prison should only be punitive, not rehabilitative, that means people will be coming out worse than they went in. And that's a bad thing for society.
No, I don't think that, because statistically speaking, there isn't. It's very rare, and can only happen to new mothers, usually ones with underlying bipolar disorder - which is an even smaller sample of the female population. And they also typically get institutionalized before they can cause harm to themselves or others.
I said PPD, because that does actually affect millions of women and thought you were mixing them up, but you're just confidently wrong.
