A honeymoon murder suspect spends much of his time sitting in a camper van in the grounds of a mental hospital, a court has heard.
Shrien Dewani faces extradition over charges he arranged his wife Anni's murder on honeymoon in South Africa.
Dr Ian Cumming told Westminster Magistrates' Court that Mr Dewani also gets frustrated hospital expectations and has trouble concentrating.
Mr Dewani has been excused from attending the hearing in London.
He is currently receiving treatment at Blaise View mental health hospital near Bristol.
Forensic consultant psychologist Dr Cumming said aside from time spent at the hospital, and inside a camper van in the car park, Mr Dewani is also allowed home visits.
He spends six hours at his Bristol home during the week and 12 hours at home at the weekend - unless he has a meeting with staff.
Hijacked taxi
Although Mr Dewani is not fit to plead, Hugo Keith, QC for South Africa, said in court on Monday, that this should not stop the extradition process.
Anni Dewani, 28, was shot when a taxi the couple were travelling in was hijacked in a township on the outskirts of Cape Town in November 2010.
Mr Dewani, 33, faces charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery with aggravating circumstances and obstructing the administration of justice - all of which he denies.
Shrien Dewani's lawyers have previously claimed that he would be a high suicide risk if extradited and that his human rights could be violated, due to the risk of attack and sexual assault, in a South African prison.
However, reassurances have been offered by the South African government that, if Mr Dewani was found to be ill, he would be admitted to a mental health hospital or remanded in a single jail cell.
