They shouldn't. Just like you don't have to support when a psychotic person becomes violent.
But you also can't pretend it's not part of the package. It doesn't stop being mental illness when it becomes inconvenient.
You will sometimes see people write "mental illness doesn't cause people to do this, because I have it and I don't". The truth is that most mental illnesses are on a spectrum. That includes both people who have no problem in daily life, and people who have serious problems.
It's not mental illness because we don't want to support it is not the right conclusion. It's completely backwards.
