Reply to:Insanity is a legal term used in criminal cases, the use of this word in this context has been defined by legislators and not by clinicians (Comer & Comer, 2021). This is important because these could be different definitions and court systems look at different symptoms and signals. For example, the text states that individuals may have a mental disorder and not qualify for the “legal definition of insanity”.

This individual needs to be able to prove that during the time of the crime they were influenced by a severe mental disorder. If someone is declared unstable during the time of the trial the court system will call in a mental health professional and the individual may even have to spend time in a mental institution until seen fit for release (Comer & Comer, 2021).
