Abstract
Before turning to the broader issues of anxiety disorders, it may be helpful to describe a case involving psychological injury in order to indicate its debilitating effects. The example is taken from the matter of Stephen Reeves v State of New South Wales1. It was heard in the Supreme Court of New South Wales and a judgement delivered by Justice Schmidt in June 2010. This was a case seeking damages for psychological injuries. The case took more than 10 years to get to court. My account is taken liberally from that judgement.
