During the period June 11 through July 1, 1993, petitioner
was an admitted patient at the Modesto Psychiatric Center. The
admitting and final diagnosis of the attending physician, John J.
Jacisin, M.D., F.A.P.A., characterized petitioner as suffering
from:
AXIS I: Atypical bipolar disorder, depressed
Delusional disorder [unspecified - admission]
[persecutory type - discharge]
AXIS II: Obsessive compulsive, histrionic traits.
The narrative portion of Dr. Jacisin’s report concludes:
“Throughout hospitalization he was fixated on his business
concerns and becoming bankrupt. Conversation with the family
indicated the situation was not nearly as severe as he proposed.”
The report of an office visit by petitioner to Thomas W.
Luck, M.D., on April 7, 1994, states the following primary
impression: “Major depression and paranoid schizophrenia--
currently well controlled.”
A letter dated August 5, 1994, from Dr. Jacisin to Dr. Luck,
in support of a request for additional insurance coverage for
office visits, states in part:

Mr. Horn’s progress, he has gradually become
increasingly more anxious again, returning to a state
in which he is beginning to tremble over his entire
body. This is correlated with filing of Chapter 11 for
his business. The bank has now taken over the
business, drastically reducing his salary and his
ability to support himself and his family. Other
family members and employees who he felt in the past
were in total denial of what was going on are now
