From the link in the OP:

The JQC held a hearing in Brevard County last year and his PTSD diagnosis didn't come up at that time or afterward before the deadline for the judge to file additional information, records say.

"What is clear is that during the entire pendency of the JQC's inquiry … Judge Murphy, through his doctors and legal counsel, consistently maintained the he did not suffer from PTSD," the special counsel said in a court record.

Maybe he was not ready to admit it to himself but to hide it from the inquiry and not come back and claim PTSD as an excuse is dishonest.
