Lundberg Stratton, J.,

dissenting. I respectfully dissent from the reversal based on Lewis v. Trimble (1997), 79 Ohio St.3d 231, 680 N.E.2d 1207. Factually, this case is quite different and the evidence is quite clear that the plaintiff “knew or should have known” of her depression claim back in 1990. Therefore, the test laid out in Lewis has been met and plaintiff is barred by the statute of limitations from presenting her claim.
