It's a bit like the problem with bullying, which can lead some people to suicide. Just because the bullies didn't throw the person off the bridge, doesn't keep them from being partially responsible for it.
I think the issue(s) would need to be discussed on a case by case basis. Just from your post I have so many "what ifs" in my head that would change responsible to not responsible to can't make a reasonable determination.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
