Questão jurídica principal
Whether the findings support a legal state of geistesschwäche or mental disorder under Art. 369 ZGB.
Decisão extraída
The appellant's condition, as established by the expert report and the court's observations, qualifies as geistesschwäche within the meaning of Art. 369 ZGB.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that geistesschwäche is not purely intellectual and may include enduring psychiatric disturbances that are markedly abnormal but not 'madness'; the documented cognitive, affective and behavioral deficits had become sufficiently severe.
