Editing Insanity defense (section)

===Finland===
In Finland, punishments can only be administered if the accused is ''[[compos mentis]]'', of sound mind, but not if the accused is incapable of responsibility (''syyntakeeton''). Thus, an insane defendant may be [[Corpus delicti|found guilty based on the facts]] just like a sane defendant, but insanity will preclude punishment. The definition of insanity is similar to the M'Naught criterion above: "the accused is insane, if during the act, due to a mental illness, profound mental retardation or a severe disruption of mental health or consciousness, he cannot understand the actual nature of his act or its illegality, or that his ability to control his behavior is critically weakened". If an accused is suspected to be insane, the court must consult the [[National Institute for Health and Welfare (Finland)|National Institute for Health and Welfare]] (THL), which is obliged to place the accused in [[involuntary commitment]] if they are found insane. The offender receives no judicial punishment; they become a patient under the jurisdiction of THL, and must be released immediately once the conditions of involuntary commitment are no longer fulfilled. Diminished responsibility is also available, resulting in lighter sentences.
