Dr. Romete revealed the star had been prescribed a medication called Librium to help her deal with alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
However, despite her frailty, Amy refused any mental health support and Dr. Romete told the court it was because the star feared it could affect her creativity.
During the hearing, Dr. Romete said: “She was one of the most intelligent young women I’ve ever met.
“She was very determined to do everything her way, including her therapy. She had very strict views on that.”

Describing Amy’s demeanor on the night before she died, Dr. Romete said said the singer appeared “calm and somewhat guilty” and was “tipsy” but “able to hold a conversation”.
She said Amy confessed that she’d started drinking again on July 20 – just three days before her death.
When asked if she was planning to give up booze again, the medic told the court Amy answered: “I don’t know”.
Romete added: “The advice I had given to Amy over a long period of time was verbal and in written form about all the effects alcohol can have on the system, including respiratory depression and death, heart problems, fertility problems and liver problems.”

During the inquest at St Pancras Coroner’s Court in London assistant deputy coroner Suzanne Greenaway concluded that Amy had died from “accidental alcohol poisoning”.
The official verdict was given as death through misadventure.
Greenaway said: “She had consumed sufficient alcohol and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death.”
The court heard Amy’s blood had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml – well over the 350mg which is recognised to be fatal.
