His mental health was fine until he landed on Earth (actually, it was fine for pretty much the whole first season) until he became a victim to the Grounders' sick and cruel violence. He watched as they killed his friends and his people. Finn wasn't like Bellamy or Clarke or Raven or most of the other characters. He was so much more fragile to begin with. At first, the slightest idea of violence disturbed him and that is why he tried to make peace with the Grounders (he was the FIRST one to want to make peace and the ONLY one who believed it would work out). Due to him being so fragile, he was the one who "broke" the most after the war.

It's not so much that he could not find the line between peaceful and violent, but it was more of the fact (in Season 2) that he could not find the line between right and wrong. He thought he was protecting Clarke and didn't see what he was doing as wrong since the Grounders have done the EXACT SAME thing to his people. In Season One, he could easily see the difference between right and wrong but the war changed him. Blame the Grounders and their violence. Don't blame Finn. He did not choose to get sick off of their violence. He did not choose to be emotionally hurt by it. He didn't have a choice at all.
