If you take a sane and trustworthy human brain, and damage it by randomly perturbing its chemistry or adding a tumor, you sometimes end up with a dangerously insane human. Uploading is a bigger change than that.
True, but an uploaded human won’t go foom on its own. It won’t be easy trivial to fix him or her, but you have plenty of time, and tools far more powerful than any biological drugs.

Are you sure about that? Uploaded humans get the power to copy and modify themselves, which can probably be leveraged into fooming somehow.
They can be given those powers. They don’t inherently have them. Just because they’re running on a computer doesn’t mean that they have a terminal.
