Judge Thokozile Masipa wants an assessment to see if Pistorius is suffering from a clinical disorder, namely generalized anxiety disorder. The defense's argument is that anxiety, along with his physical disability, could have contributed to his vulnerability and clouded his judgement. A psychiatrist and clinical psychologist will chat with Pistorius from 9am to 4pm every single day for the next month. The trial begins again June 30.
