That is a possibility.

Lara states that based on his injuries it should have been a fatal feeding. The accepted explanation is that Thomas held himself back (at risk to himself) out of his love for Justine. What if she has some other attribute due to her parentage that protected her?

Maybe the inverse of a relatively emotionless Kincaid, a nephilim? But it dates to so far back in her ancestry that it only presents itself as relative insanity and heightened emotions?
Or, like Raisins said, she's mentally ill. Maybe the function by which the White Court affects humans (making them feel heightened desire or terror) holds a clue to whether it's mental or physical for her. Do they mess with chemical balances and hormone production to achieve the effect, or is it purely mental? I'm assuming Thomas's (and other White Court Vampires) calming effect is a byproduct of rebalancing whatever is off-kilter.
Rasins:
I see the feeding as a means for them to drain off her extra emotions. When she was almost fatally fed upon, she was SO drained she could barely communicate. As her illness came back, she recovered some, eventually needing meds to stay level, as Lara's asst.
Once she broke the true love protection, she's probably off her meds again, and using Thomas to smooth her out again.

My understanding wasn't that it was explicitly Thomas's feeding that did it, but his presence, to which I attributed his natural luring...aura? Talents? Ability? Mechanism? Mechanism. If it was the feeding, then it could just be stifling symptoms rather than correcting an issue.

Rather, she's just extra-tasty to Wampires because she's the reincarnation of a Paranormal Romance protagonist that migrated from a parallel universe.

From Buffy the vampire slayer? Making a guess. What were you thinking of?
