Oh wow that's really sad to read. The part where she stole a 1.9k coat from a small shop and then went back the next day to steal 5k of stuff, I really can see how that's mental illness.
Politicians have enough money to pay for therapy, I think the wider problem here is the way mental health is still stigmatized and people just try to power through it.
Yeah, this wasn't stealing necessities, this was luxury goods. It will be very interesting to see what sentence she gets.
