Do I need to take responsibility for the schizophrenia of the other party after breaking up?
Legal problem: the other mother has schizophrenia. I was worried about the influence of genes on my future life, so I broke up with her. But the other party pestered me and kept harassing me. While the other side commits violence. After calling the police, the opposing defender defended him on the grounds of mental illness. Does he still need to bear criminal responsibility? If the other party accuses me of hurting his feelings and causing his mental problems, what legal impact will it have on me? Lawyer Li: Whether the other party really has mental illness can be identified. It is difficult to establish the cause of your mental illness. Lawyer Han; You are not responsible for his illness. According to the criminal law: 1. If a mental patient commits a crime when he is unable to control his own behavior under pathological conditions, he shall not bear criminal responsibility, but shall be handed over to his guardian to strengthen supervision, and may be taken in for treatment by the government if necessary, and his guardian shall also bear civil liability for compensation. 2. Intermittent mental patients who commit crimes when they are conscious shall be investigated for criminal responsibility and bear corresponding civil liability.

Related knowledge-criminal responsibility ability of mental patients 1. A mental patient with no criminal responsibility at all. The first paragraph of Article 18 of the Criminal Law stipulates: "A mental patient who causes harmful results when he can't identify or control his own behavior, after being identified by legal procedures, shall not bear criminal responsibility, but his family members or guardians shall be ordered to strictly guard and treat him; When necessary, the government forces medical treatment. " This shows that: first, whether mental patients should bear criminal responsibility depends on whether they have the ability to identify or control their own behavior when they act; Second, whether an act has the ability to identify or control can neither be determined according to the confession of the actor nor the subjective judgment of the case-handling personnel, but must be confirmed through legal appraisal procedures; Third, mental patients who are not criminally responsible because they are incapable of criminal responsibility should not be left unattended, but their families or guardians should be ordered to take strict care of and treat them, and the government can force them to treat them when necessary. 2. Mental patients with full criminal responsibility. The second paragraph of Article 18 of the Criminal Law stipulates: "Intermittent mental patients who commit crimes when they are mentally normal shall bear criminal responsibility." Intermittent mental patients have the ability to identify or control their own behavior when they are mentally normal, and should bear criminal responsibility for their criminal behavior. 3. Mental patients with limited criminal responsibility. The third paragraph of Article 18 of the Criminal Law stipulates: "A mental patient who has not completely lost or controlled his capacity for behavior shall bear criminal responsibility for committing a crime, but he may be given a lighter or mitigated punishment." Mental patients with limited criminal responsibility are some mental patients between the first two types of mental patients. Compared with mental patients without criminal responsibility, such people have not completely lost the ability to identify and control their own behavior, so they cannot be completely exempted from criminal responsibility like mental patients without criminal responsibility. But as a mental patient, this kind of person's criminal responsibility ability has weakened after all. Therefore, China's criminal law stipulates that such people can be given a lighter or mitigated punishment.
