I thought it was the prosecution who suggested it was necessary because the defence were trying to claim a lifetime of insecurity and fear of attack since losing his legs. The prosecution said that such 'facts' could not be used as evidence unless they were the results of a proper investigation. Hence the need for an assessment.

This is only what I THINK happened. Could easily be totally wrong. It wouldn't be the first time!  LaughLaughLaugh Sad

He's defence tried to slip in the fact that OP has allegedly got an anxiety disorder as a fall back option for any possible appeal, that is, his anxiety disorder was not taken into account at the trial.

The defence still has the 'under the spell of a witch doctor' card to play.
