Script:

Oscar Pistorius arrived at Weskoppies Hospital on Monday for his 30-day assessment where his mental state will be evaluated.

Judge Thokozile Masipa last week ordered that the double-amputee runner be observed by a panel of mental health experts, after a psychiatrist testified at his trial that he had an anxiety disorder and contributed to his fatal shooting of his girlfriend.

His psychiatric evaluation was prompted by testimony from Dr. Merryll Vorster, a psychiatrist called by his defense, who said she diagnosed the world-famous runner with a generalised anxiety disorder after interviewing him on two occasions at the beginning of May.
