Dr. Jonathan Scholtz, a clinical psychologist, found no evidence that Pistorius had a history of 'abnormal aggression or explosive violence' but concluded he has a record of feeling insecure and vulnerable, particularly when he is without his prosthetic limbs, defense lawyer Barry Roux said.
Roux on Wednesday read excerpts from the report, which was compiled during a 30-day observation period at a state psychiatric hospital and included a report compiled by three psychiatrists.
The report said the double-amputee runner is suffering depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and 'his condition is likely to worsen' if professional treatment for those conditions is halted.
It also concluded that the Paralympian does not show narcissistic traits linked with violence towards women and 'rage-type' murders.

Sounds about right, but people with an ax to grind who have never met him say he's a demon and sociopath.
Hard to know what to think... 
I am personally not interested in the psych report.
4 shots into a toilet where someone is hiding is going to kill or at least cause a hell of a lot of damage.
Whether he was knowingly shooting to kill Reeva or an imaginary intruder, he was shooting to kill.
Whether it was cold blooded then followed by a logie winning performance, rage, or mistaken identity , he killed someone.
He could have stood at the door, gun in hand and called out Reeva darling call the police I have an intruder trapped in the loo, and then to the intruder listen here fhead don't move I have a gun aimed right at you.
Then Reeva could have said, Oh Oscar my love, I am on the John don't shoot. Or she could have called the police, the "intruder' shat his draws and all would have ended nicely.
His intent was to kill and he carried out that intent.

One thing I read is that he claimed (or his lawyers claimed) that if he had been meaning to kill, he would have shot higher ... but that doesn't work if the person he was aiming at was sitting down.
He also would have only fired once in my opinion.
