Thanksand good luck!!! :-)PSY 270 Mind Over MatterWhat is the difference between mental illness and insanity?According to the McNaughten rule insanity is a legal term use to describe individuals who areunable to determine between right and wrong at the time of committing a crime. A mentally illindividual might still be able to determine between right and wrong but instead of beingclassified as insane they are simply described as having a mental illness.The McNaughten rule cannot be used to defend the actions of a person who drinks alcoholand then murders someone. Why not?An individual is not able to use the McNaughten rule if they have committed a murder whileintoxicated because the state of being intoxicated is the result of a voluntary choice made by theindividual.The individual made a conscious decision to drink alcohol, which they knew couldcause them to have an altered mental status.Identify each of the following:1.Rational and guilty:When a person is found rational and guilty he or she is able todetermine between right and wrongat the time of committing a crime which results in aguilty verdict.The fact that they were fully aware of their actions means that they areheld accountable for those actions.2.Guilty but insane:In this scenario the individual who committed the crime suffers froma mental illness but they still have the capacity to understand the difference between rightand wrong. Basically the court acknowledges the fact that the individual has a mentalillness but that the individual understood that what they were doing was wrong when theycommitted the crime. There is also no proof that there was lack of intent. This verdictleads to incarceration instead of institutionalization.
