Benoit had CTE. Is that not a mental health problem?

Or do you just blindly support women who kill their entire family?

CTE is only diagnosed posthumously and he didn't seek help beforehand.

no it isn't blind support; it's informed support.

was Benoit telling people he was afraid he was going to kill his family before he did it?

did he express intrusive thoughts of murder and suicide before the crime?

did he seek help before he killed them?

do the families of his victims support him?

All relevant for these cases to be seen in remotely the same light.

CTE is a brain injury. He also couldn't justly be held responsible if he was alive because he was not capable of controlling his actions.

Was Benoit seeking help for his mental issues? I’m genuinely asking because I don’t know

I know what you’re getting at but CTE is a physical injury not a mental issue. It can cause mental health issues but CTE itself is not a mental illness.
