Thanks for confirming what you meant. Conditions such as depression and anxiety are complex conditions. There are different types, how severe they are varies from person to person and it can be very debilitating. Self harm or even suicide are prevalent with sufferers.
We're not talking about the normal ups & downs of life or times when we are anxious like before an exam or driving test, but real mental health problems. These cannot be treated with a broad 'pull yourself together' approach.

If someone has been accused of falling foul of laws designed to protect others on the internet and it comes to light that they have a certain condition then, in order for this to be taken into consideration, they would have to have the condition verified by a mental health professional and have confirmation that said condition could lead to whatever it is that they've been accused of.
Steps would still have to be taken to prevent them from causing harm to others.
