In the case of Cindy Countess, I was debating on two out of the four offenders types that she could be classified as: severely mentally ill or enraged parricide offender. There are characteristics of both that Countess falls under. I would say that severely mentally ill fits her best because of her past. As Countess grew older she showed signs of mental illness like her mother and had visited mental health institutions many times. She wasn't able to keep her emotions stable and after being in a psychiatric hospital for eight days she was prescribed Paxil for her depression. The combination of not taking her medicine correctly and having mixed drinks is what caused her to kill her mother and thats why I believe she is a levelly mentally ill
