I agree with beardy - the first thing to do (after you get your medical situation squared away of course), is to deal with the shrink. I'd ask your attorney whether this is a conversation you should have or he/she should. If it's your conversation, you need to have your attorney make it absolutely clear to you specifically how the report is deficient - and what she could do to make it better. Maybe she should have a direct discussion with your attorney. It's critical that she understand what is needed AND that she communicate with you and your attorney honestly and quickly if she can't say what you need her to say. Maybe there are limitations to what she can say, but it sounds like she's been pretty vague on this. Obviously the hostility issue needs to be addressed, but I doubt it has much to do with the lawsuit and she should understand that it's the lawsuit that needs to be dealt with preeminently.
Anyone would be overwelmed in your circumstances, and I think you have enough perspective to see that regardless of your mood, things do need to get done. It sounds like the shrink is deflecting attention here or using this opportunity to raise other issues that she thinks are legit - there's a time and place for everything - but not now in this context.
