House Democrats Plan Event to Examine Donald Trump's Allegedly Deteriorating Mental Health
Newsweek ^ | June 5, 2019 | Christina Zhao

House Democrats are planning a Capitol Hill event that will feature a psychiatrist who will examine President Donald Trump's allegedly deteriorating mental health.

Dr. Bandy Lee — a Yale School of Medicine psychiatrist and editor of the best-selling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President" — will be speaking at the event and all lawmakers in Washington D.C. will be invited to attend. According to The Hill, Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY), who has previously called for Trump's impeachment, and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) will be hosting the event

"We are planning to do something where she can make a presentation to other members, so that they'll be aware of what she's been working on," Taymuth told the news outlet on Wednesday, adding that the event is anticipated to be held in July.

"We're planning to put together an event," Yarmuth told the Washington Examiner, who first broke the story. "She's calling it a town hall. We haven't actually determined the format, but it's going to be an event where she is going to present her findings, and media will be invited."

The book, edited by Lee, asserts that psychiatrists have an ethical responsibility to publicly disclose their evaluations of a dangerous sitting president.

Think about it.

What does it tell us that this is all they've got?

If the enemy could find anything objectionable about Trump's actual performance and, particularly, his results, they would be defining themselves by their opposition to that.

It's not just that they've got nothing. It's that they truly believe they've got nothing. They have accepted the fact that they are desperate.

Dr. Bandy Lee. Seriously? Her medical license (if she really has one) needs to be terminated for unethical conduct.

I don’t think there are exceptions to HIPPA Law violations, so I am sure the rats 🐀 will violate it.

Ya had to know that was coming. LOL!

You can't help but laugh at their desperation.
But desperate people can be dangerous.
We can't let our guard down for a second.

#4: "Remember this, when that day comes."

Hopefully when that day comes, the Republican party will have been replaced with something substantially more virile and less susceptible to the opinion of the New York Times.

How'd she get into Yale? Her parents make a conribution to the wrestling coach?

Stalinesque weaponizing of psychiatry.

Starting to happen in the professions at high speed.

Outrageous. She should lose her license.

Back in the late 1960s, there was a ethical standard written up for psychologists, which says you can’t pronounce some judgement over someone, unless you personally sat down and evaluated the person (meaning they were your patient). Since no one has been given this judgement or ability, I don’t see how these mental health experts can make a judgement without having personally seen the patient. Using this type of open-range judgement....even I (a non-mental health expert) could pronounce Pelosi or AOC as ‘nutcases’, and ask them have them removed from their House jobs.

This just seems to me to be an open door where people can send in the name of the doctor doing this to his state accreditation folks, and ask to have his/her license revoked.

This is an ethical violation by the “doctor.”

Personally, I don’t think that day will come. I think Trump is the last president. Why would we ever allow a Democrat to be President again after what they have done?
