Frankly, this whole "you're not responsible for your actions if you have mental illness" argument pisses me off as someone who has a diagnosed mental illness and has dealt with it for more than two decades.

My mental illness does not MAKE me do anything. It gives me compulsions, yes, but it is ultimately my choice whether or not I choose to give into them. If I do give in, then yes, I am responsible for the consequences. Can it be difficult to resist them? Hell yes. But it's not impossible, and it's not like my OCD takes over my body and forces it to do anything. In the end, it is always my choice.

If a person with mental illness can literally not control their actions we have moved so far beyond the point about whether or not their addiction is "their responsibility" or not.

If they literally can't control their actions then they need to be evaluated to see if they a danger to themselves or others. In fact, if someone is literally incapable of controlling their actions they may need to be institutionalized for their own safety.
