It's not for me to say but she could be mentally ill or insane or just a provocateur.
I'm conflicted, but I do know that mental illness is a disease of the brain, an organ in the human body.
Much like diabetes is a disease, cancer, heart disease, liver disease. We don't blame cancer patients for their disease; we sympathize, get them treatment and wish them well.
I really dislike hearing people make comments like "She's nuts", like it is her fault she is sick. Perhaps her brain won't allow her to behave like "normal" people. Perhaps we should have more compassion for sufferers of brain disease.
Having said that, it is clear Holmes knew right from wrong when he committed his acts.
