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.
