You should read “The Twilight of American Sanity.”

The left thinks we’re all crazy and would love to treat us like mental patients.

If only four percent of the members of the American Psychiatric Association were women... or gay... or black... the 'association' would be having a fit.

They believe in 'diversity' right?

Well, yes and no... they believe in 'diversity' based on sexual hole of choice, diversity of pigmentation, and diversity based on 16 genders... BUT THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT.

Nope, only 4 percent of the members of the American Psychiatric Association are conservative Republicans...

Do more than condemn them. Revoke their licenses.

Agreed, and for a licensed psychiatrist to make a diagnosis without examining a patient is a gross unethical act, one that in my view should cause their license to be revoked.

And the examination is under patient-doctor privilege. The client holds the right to privilege meaning that the information can only be released with the patient's permission. The exceptions to that privilege are few and certainly are not there to let some talking head yak away on a news show.

Censure her. Make her turn in her license.

Is this the same association that decided in the early 1970’s to remove homosexuality from its manual as a mental defect?

Don’t think she has a license.

Beyond that, however, more than a dozen lawmakers met with a Yale University psychiatrist, Dr. Brandy Lee, who warned them Trump was “going to unravel, and we are seeing the signs.” Lee has not personally examined the president...so she violated their standards of professional ethical conduct - she should be censured by the Association....

Absolutely, and her license revoked in my view.

Revoking her license would be a state matter - but censure by her professional association might prompt the state to act.....
