#OscarPistorius: Mental health conclusions in full - as read into court record by Barry Roux:
From my assessment of Mr Pistorius and with the information currently at my disposal I come to the following conclusions. Five point one, Mr Pistorius has been severely traumatised by the events that took place on Feb. 14, 2013. He currently suffers from a post-traumatic stress disorder, and a major depressive disorder as defined by a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual V, (DSM-V), C A section C. The degree of anxiety and depression that is present is significant. He is also mourning the loss of Miss Steenkamp.
Five point two, Mr Pistorius is being treated and should continue to receive clinical care by a psychiatrist and a clinical psychologist for his current condition. Should he not receive proper clinical care, his condition is likely to worsen and increase the risk for suicide and in a reference to, to references.
Five point three, no evidence could be found to indicate that Mr Pistorius has the history of abnormal aggression of explosive violence. Abnormal aggression and violence was never incorporated into his personality as borne out by both psychometric testing and collateral information. He does not display the personality characteristics of narcissism and or psychopathy that are mostly associated with men in abusive relationships and have been linked to rage type murders in intimate relationships. Those who know him describe him as gentle, respectful and conflict avoidant. The times when he did become angry were found to be suitable for the situation or context. His style of conflict resolution is to talk through the situation or remove himself from the situation. He also has the ability to self-reflect afterwards mostly leading to feelings of guilt and an apology from him. His ability to regulate this effect is well-developed.
Five point four, there is evidence to indicate that Mr Pistorius does have a history of feeling insecure and vulnerable, especially when he is without his prostheses. He has also been exposed to crime directly and indirectly throughout his life. A reaction to a threatening situation comprises more than fight or flight, an appraisal takes place instantly whereby the individual assesses firstly the intensity of the threat and then his position to cope with the threat. These appraisals are influenced by amongst other things previous experience. When Mr Pistorius’s appraisal of the situation is that he might be physically threatened, a fear response follows that might seem extraordinary when viewed from the perspective of a normal-bodied person, but normal in the context of a disabled person with his history.
Five point five, no evidence could be found to indicate that Mr Pistorius suffered from anxiety to the extent that it impaired his functioning prior to the incident in February 2013. He specifically does not meet criteria D for the DSM-V for the generalised anxiety disorder, quote the anxiety worry or physical symptoms caused clinically, significant distress or impairment in social occupational or other important areas of functioning. That’s also referred to in a section C.
If his context is taken into account his function was superior prior to the incident in February 2013. For somebody of his age his achievements in both his occupation and the social fear were enormous. The successful intimate relationship he craved and his inability to rehabilitate his relationship with his father being the only areas where he achieved less success.
Five point six there is evidence to indicate that Mr Pistorius was genuine with his feelings towards Miss Steenkamp and that they had a normal loving relationship. He did become insecure and jealous at times but this was normal for the specific situation. He would express his displeasure and irritation but would try and sort it out later by talking with Miss Steenkamp. Although the relationship was still young, there were no signs of abusive coercion like those often found in these kinds of relationships and in reference to previous works by experts. In his previous long-term relationship of four years these aspects were also absent. And in the findings which were previously read into the record just as to his mental state.
