Pistorius 'has anxiety disorder'

A psychiatrist called by Oscar Pistorius’ defence team at his murder trial has told the court that she believes the double-amputee athlete has an “anxiety disorder”.

Dr Merryll Vorster told the court that events during his life, including the amputation of his lower legs as a baby and his late mother’s habit of sleeping with a gun under her pillow, contributed to his “increasing stress”.
