CITY OF CLEARWATER and Hewitt, Coleman & Associates, Appellants, v. Bernard DONAHUE, Appellee.
    No. AW-85.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    May 30, 1984.
    Peter H. Dubbeld of Riden, Watson & Goldstein, P.A., St. Petersburg, for appellants.
    Enrique Escarraz, III, and Donald C. Anderson, St. Petersburg, for appellee.
   MILLS, Judge.

We find competent substantial evidence to support the deputy commissioner’s finding of a causal relationship between Donahue’s compensable injuries and his present psychiatric condition. We also find competent substantial ’ evidence to support the finding that Donahue suffered a compensa-ble injury on 4 April 1983. Accordingly, the City of Clearwater’s argument that Section 440.19, Florida Statutes (1983), bars Donahue’s claim for benefits is without merit.

AFFIRMED.

SHIVERS and WIGGINTON, JJ., concur.
