It does not seem like a stretch to expand the definition of mental illness to include mental conditions which predispose to the commission of violent crimes. Certainly such conditions are maladaptive for the sufferer.

I don't see how reclassifying crime as illness is going to help anything except making psychiatry much less credible.
