DETROIT, May 10 (UPI) -- A psychiatrist's report filed with a court as part of a lawsuit says former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kilpatrick sued SkyTel in U.S. District Court in Mississippi, saying the company released his text messages illegally, The Detroit News reported. He wants $100 million in damages.
Text messages between Kilpatrick and his former chief of staff and mistress became public after they were subpoenaed in a lawsuit. The release led to a charge that Kilpatrick committed perjury in a deposition.
SkyTel said the psychiatrist made the diagnosis based on telephone interviews with Kilpatrick's wife, mother and sister and only talked to the former mayor after the fact.
Carlita Kilpatrick, his wife, said the scandal ruined her husband's life and career and made repairing their marriage much harder, the Detroit Free Press said.
"I am very angry and resentful at the entire process because it has not allowed me as a wife to even deal with my husband as a husband," she said to psychiatrist Norman Miller in December.
