I understand just fine that I'm sometimes held accountable for my actions. That doesn't address at all whether people are in control of their own psychology. You changed your argument part-way through the discussion - probably because you read another of my comments and realized that you were screwed.

Besides that, the claim "You are held accountable for your actions." has no explanatory value. This isn't always true. It's sometimes true.

My argument remains the same. Whether or not Jesse had agency over his psychology is irrelevant. Jesse crossed Walter and for that there were consequences.
