<b>Zardari suffering from mental problems: Report</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Zardari was diagnosed with a range of psychiatric illnesses, including dementia, post-traumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder, the 'Financial Times' reported, citing court documents filed by his doctors.
In fact, his illnesses were said to be linked to the fact that he spent 11 of the past 20 years in Pakistani prisons fighting corruption allegations, during which he also claims to have been tortured, the report said.
According to the documents, Philip Saltiel, a New York- based psychiatrist, found in March 2007 that Zardari's detention had left him suffering from "emotional instability" and memory and concentration problems. "I do not foresee any improvement in these issues for at least a year," he wrote.
Stephen Reich, another psychologist, had said Zardari was unable to remember even birthdays of his wife and children, was persistently apprehensive and had thought about suicide.

Previously, he must be doing acting just to stay away from questioning, now that will haunt him. <!--emo&
