A psychologist told jurors on Tuesday that Amber Heard suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder due to physical and sexual abuse at the hands of ex-husband Johnny Depp.

Dawn Hughes testified that she had diagnosed Heard after examining her for 29 hours and reviewing therapy records, and that she had concluded that Depp engaged in a "high degree of violence." Hughes recounted numerous instances of alleged sexual violence, which she said were motivated by Depp's "obsessive jealousy" and a desire to show dominance.
