Psychiatrist: Pelosi Can Subject Trump to 'Involuntary' Evaluation
Breitbart ^ | 12/27/19 | Nate Church

Posted on 12/28/2019 9:03:58 AM PST by Impala64ssa

Yale Medicine Professor of Psychiatry Bandy X. Lee claims that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the “right to have [Trump] submit to an involuntary evaluation.” Professor Lee, of the Yale University School of Medicine, also serves as president of the World Mental Health Coalition.
She has been a longstanding and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, providing “translations” of his communications on her Twitter feed. Lee was also an editor on The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, and is part of a movement demanding that the Judiciary Committee bring a panel of mental health experts to join impeachment proceedings. “As a coworker, she has the right to have him submit to an involuntary evaluation, but she has not,” Lee told Salon. “Anyone can call 911 to report someone who seems dangerous, and family members are the most typical ones to do so. But so can coworkers, and even passersby on the street.” The law dictates who can determine right to treatment, or civil commitment, and in all 50 U.S. states this includes a psychiatrist,” she continued.

“The advantage of a coworker starting this process is that a court can mandate a mental capacity evaluation before the dangerous person returns to work.” Lee also believes that those surrounding Trump may be suffering from a “shared psychosis.” She said that “the severity by which others are affected is what induces me to believe that Trump is sometimes truly paranoid and delusional rather than merely lying.” “We have created one of the most dangerous periods by first delaying impeachment and allowing his false sense of impunity to swell and then proceeding,” Lee warned in the interview. “Impeachment is much needed as ‘limit setting,’ and the House speaker has done well to set limits on the Senate by delaying the articles.”

The eyes say it all. Liberalism is a cult religion that causes massive brain damage and psychotic behavior. I know many of us on this side of the political aisle are passionate about our beliefs, but we’re not crazed loons llike these people!

Did Levin call her out on her lies or just give her a pass like his buddy Hannity often does with his guests?

The eyes are all wrong. Looks like one of the imps that inhabit her body is trying to explode out of her left eye socket.

That’s what I was thinking. “Brandy X. Lee’’ sounds like a porno star if ever there was one.

Brandy, by all means, call 911 about this and see what happens ... after all, you’re a psychiatrist, so i’m sure that’ll carry a lot more weight with the desk sargent who answers the call ...

Unfortunately this woman may be correct. Most governments have given psychiatrists the power to snatch up anyone and drug or even electroshock them against their will. You see freepers calling for involuntary psych treatment all the time. Too bad there’s not one case on record of shrinks curing anyone. But involuntary commitment is a good way to get rid of inconvenient people.

Say you have an rich old father who just won’t die. Well just have him committed. Then get him drugged up and declared incompetent. Then you get control of his money. Pretty cool eh? Happens all the time.

Stupid and dangerous. The internet has elevated loons of all sorts to false credibility.

26 says how fitness for duty is challenged. What Dr. Lee proposes is different - would in principle apply to anyone; I don’t think it can happen just on an ‘observers’ say-so though - would require some kind of judicial intervention, I should think.

Why do even Lefties buy into this clickbait?

Because it is stuff they want to hear. AND to a thinking liberal Reality is a mental construct, like sex. It is what he says it is because he says it. No other reason or support is necessary.
