It depends. If it actually has an impact on the person's ability to think properly...then I would say yes. It hardly seems fair to mete out a harsh punishment to someone if they won't understand why they are being punished, if they truly don't remember committing the crime, if they were not "themselves" when they committed the crime, etc. Better to get them the mental help that they need. Prison should be reserved for the worst of the worst.
I'm not sure how anyone who's not a Standard-Issue Internet Tough Guy could answer any other way than this.
