A 'perfectionist' teacher killed herself just weeks after an occupational therapist said in a report that she was 'emotionally immature', an inquest heard.
A coroner heard Chelsey Peart, 27, 'changed completely' after seeing the report, which she concluded 'had a very detrimental effect on Mrs Peart's wellbeing.'
Mrs Peart was found hanging by her husband Mark at their home in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, on April 11.
Mr Peart, a firefighter, attempted CPR until paramedics arrived but Chelsey was pronounced dead at the couple's home.
The inquest heard Mrs Peart, who taught at Rawmarsh Community School and also ran a textiles business, was signed off work by her GP Dr Biing Hen on a number of occasions dating back to November 2017.
Helen O'Brien, headteacher at Rawmarsh Community School, described Mrs Peart as a 'positive role model for students' and a 'very, very talented textiles teacher'.
Mrs O'Brien took Mrs Peart to the hospital on November 9, last year, after she told another member of staff she'd had suicidal thoughts on the journey to work.
The court also heard she attempted to take her life in February, information which was not shared with the school.
Then, in March, Dr Hen said Chelsey became 'annoyed' by a letter from an occupational therapist which labelled her as 'emotionally immature', something her mother, who was present in court, said 'changed her completely'.
Mrs O'Brien said: 'Chelsey disagreed and contested with the occupational health report. I said I would speak to her GP to get a second opinion.
'The door was kept open - at no point was Chelsey told she wouldn't be able to return to school.'
In a statement which was read at Doncaster Coroner's Court by coroner's officer David Copley, Mr Peart said he was working a day shift at Manvers Fire Station on April 11.
He said: 'I arrived home at about 7.05pm and the house was in darkness. I discovered Chelsey.'
Mr Peart put her on the floor and began performing CPR but she died at the scene.
Assistant coroner for Doncaster, Louise Slater questioned the use of the phrase 'emotionally immature' and said it was not a 'medical diagnosis'.
Recording a narrative verdict, Mrs Slater said she could not record a conclusion of suicide as she said the evidence she had heard did not prove Chelsey intended to take her own life.
'Chelsey was a good teacher,' said Mrs Slater. 'She was liked and respected by her peers, certainly the management and, although not here, I suspect the pupils as well and probably their parents.
'But it would appear from the evidence that Chelsey found it difficult to accept that she was actually quite good at what she did.
'She was always striving to be better and perhaps she was a bit of a perfectionist.'
Mrs Slater said Chelsey 'seemed to be worried about letting those around her down' but added that her family were the 'most supportive of her'.
She added: 'It's clear, not just from the evidence in court but also the documents before me, where she is repeatedly going back to this report from the occupational assessment and I have no doubt that it had a very detrimental effect on Chelsey's wellbeing.'
Paying tribute to her on Facebook, Katy Houston said she was 'absolutely devastated' and that Mrs Peart was a 'beautiful girl inside and out'.
Laura Royston added: 'I am so, so sad. I worked with Chelsey for a few years and she was the most kind and beautiful girl there ever was.'
Lizzy Eliza Dun described her as 'one of the best teachers' who was so kind and caring'.
