How has the court determined that defendant's severe mental disorder was a factor in the underlying crime?

The record on appeal contains ample evidence from which the hearing court reasonably could have concluded that defendant's severe mental disorder was a cause of or an aggravating factor in the underlying offense. (People v. Miller, supra, 25 Cal.App.4th at p. 919.) The two psychologists, who were familiar with defendant's full mental health history and diagnoses, concluded after interviewing defendant that her disorder was at least an aggravating factor in her offense. Only the psychiatrist, ignorant of defendant's history before 1998 and of statements defendant had made to the other doctors in her interviews, could find no connection between the offense and her mental state. Defendant's testimony, though contradictory, revealed that she had heard soft voices telling her to do some of the actions which made up the crime. The evidence of defendant's lengthy history of mental illness, beginning in her teens, was before the court.
