Yes. These days Marvel had writers with better educations who understand trauma and people's reaction to abuse. Think of what happened to Madelyne. After being raised in the lab by Sinister, her marriage to Cyclops falls apart. Then the Marauders try to kill her and steal her baby. Then she was forced to hide out in the Outback. All that trauma would have anyone nuts, so no wonder why the demons had a lot to work with.

I also think its interesting that the first person to truly reach out to Madelyne was Magik, who understand trauma and abuse. Magik has decided being a war captain, magical school teacher, training of New Mutants, and sometimes Savage Avenger has her too stretched out to be sorceress supreme of Limbo, which in and of itself is a very important job. So she decides to give up the throne to Madelyne Pryor.
