Hi Pontus, 

I think this looks interesting, although I need to read it more thoroughly 

Article Error trawling and Fringe Decision Competence: Ethical Hazar...

The book: 'brain based therapy' (Arden & Linford pb: Wiley) could be instructive, also for its references.

First let us identify what are psychiatrics symptoms found in decision makers

eccentric people generally have been strong decision makers and great administrators though these achievements were not good on scale of mortality and public welfare and adverse cost to nation or society. same thing happens in corporates also ( Indira Gandhi, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussain

Anxiety (Kaur & Kapoor, 2015; Kohn & Nisbett, 2015)

Depression (Hindmarch et al., 2005; Larkin & Hutton, 2007)

Stress-related Disorders (Linn et al., 2011)

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (Moulding et al., 2015)

Cognitive Impairment (Grisso & Appelbaum, 1995)

Psychotic Disorders (Sullivan & Youngner, 1994; Hindmarch et al., 2005)

Here are the references in APA format related to psychiatric symptoms and decision-making capacity:

These references include both general discussions on the effect of psychiatric symptoms on DMC, as well as specific studies focusing on depression and psychosis.

How stress warps decision-making

"Scientists have found two ‘dials’ in the brain that help to explain how chronic stress hijacks decision-making in mice. In a study, hungry mice were taught to push a lever to receive tasty pellets. Once they’d been fed, mice exposed to mild stressors continued to push the lever, but unstressed mice didn’t bother much. The team traced these behaviours to two pathways leading from the brain region called the amygdala to another called the striatum. One was only active in unstressed mice, hinting that it enables flexible decision-making and is dampened by prolonged stress. The second was only active in stressed mice, suggesting that it promotes reliance on habit."
