This means the Olympic athlete was criminally responsible for his actions when he shot her, the prosecution said.
The defence team argued Mr Pistorius was suffering from an anxiety disorder.
The athlete denies deliberately killing Reeva Steenkamp. He says he shot her accidentally in a state of panic after mistaking her for an intruder.
The prosecution says Mr Pistorius deliberately killed Ms Steenkamp following an argument.
Both prosecution and defence have accepted the results of the psychological report.
