That is strange. You really have to define what you mean by a person having guilt here. I really cannot see any definition that makes this statement correct but I am curious if there is any.

Also, she did not take her medication as regulerly as she should, and she continued to live in circumstances that enhanced her problems.

This makes the situation more complicated and I really do not know what my opinion is here. In Sweden there was a case were a person went up into a tower and shot a lot of people (he was a military officer so had easy access to a suitable weapon). He had drunk alcohol and had a known problem with psychiatric sickness caused by alcohol. The courts "solved the problem" by using the fact that he willingly drank alcohol knowing what could happen and sent him to jail. There was much debate about this and some suspicion that the courts tried to satisfy the public's "need" for revenge.
