Forensic psychologists employ a variety of terminology to define a client's state of concern. For example, Is there a distinction between "crime insane" and "mental disorder" leading to risky behaviour?
A great question and a great answer by Nina. Criminally insane behaviour involves a criminal action by someone who has a diminshed capacity or: "criminal insanity is understood as a mental defect or disease that makes it impossible for a defendant to understand their actions, or to understand that their actions are wrong." - Quote taken from https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/criminal_insanity
The behaviour associated with mental illness or disorder in general is a broad scope depending on the nature of the illness psychological/neuropsychological.
Some behaviours of mental disorder may stray from from certain sociological norms, however the actions may not reach the level of criminality. It is an oft unfortunate side-effect that television presents those with mental disorders or issues with a criminal streak. But as Nina rightly points out those with mental illnesses are not automatically guilty of criminal behaviour.
Absolutely. Mental illness does not automatically indicate the inclusion of violent or dangerous behavior. When someone is deemed criminally insane, that indicates a pattern of behavior in which the person will use any means to accomplish what they want, which is to commit a crime.
