Here are comments from another thread: "Can we start accumulating info about any Kerry undisclosed medical condition?" in which the following was penned by Wild Irish Rogue:
I have listed the articles at the bottom of this post, where the Kerrys themselves and a family friend describe Kerry's behavior through the years.
After reading the words of John, Teresa and their friends, I came to this conclusion :
Kerry may suffer from- a depressive disorder -Kerry became mute and withdrawn after his first election lost in 1972.
PTSD-post traumatic stress disorder- Kerry told Brinkley in " Tour of Duty ," that he began sleepwalking and having nightmares in Vietnam.
Teresa told the Rolling Stone in 2002 and The Washington Post in 2003 that Kerry had nighttime frenzies where he "banged on the walls " so loudly-it can be heard rooms away, he screams out and flails around so badly, that she fears he will hit her. Kerry's daughter,Alex, via Teresa's interview validated the nightime banging and screaming.
NPD-narcissistic personality disorder.
A pattern of grandiosity, excessive need for admiration, entitlement, admiration and constant attention.
"A narcissistic individual has a shifting morality--always ready to shift values to gain favor."
Flip Flop.
"Their tendency is to form friendships or romantic relationships with only those that can enhance their self-esteem or advance their purposes."
His two marriages.
"A narcissist presents a false self to the world."
Kerry's whole life history is a mish mash of events and fantasies that don't mesh with reality.
"Under his inferiority is a preoccupation with fantasies of outstanding achievement."
Kerry's medals, Purple Hearts and war time feats.
"The narcissist uses others to aid him in any tasks he undertakes and will frequently take credit for work which others have done."
Many examples in " Unfit For Command."
"Lying is an integral part of the narcissist's behavior and all their self-reports are unreliable."
) David Brinkley and others who think Kerry's diary is true-take note.
"Narcissists will over inflate their own accomplishments, are boastful, and pretentious."
"They frequently will compare themselves to people of great accomplishments and are surprised when others do not agree with them."
"In fact, it is not unusal for the narcissist to compare himself with God."
From Kerry's diary ,Page 244, "Tour of Duty "- after comparing himself to Winston Churchill, Kerry writes his mother-
" Besides, I am so conceited I do not believe the gods would create so potent a being as myself for so prosaic an ending. "
"A narcissistic individual expects favorable treatment from others and wants automatic compliance with his requests."
"For instance he does not feel he should be made to wait in line and expects to be the center of attention."
The Boston media and Hugh Hewitt are replete with examples of Kerry pushing to the front of a line.
Unfit For Command is devastating to Kerry.
I can't stress that enough.
Kerry's entire Vietnam history appears to have been a total fanstasy-unsubstantiated by the facts.
A complete and total fantasy.
Although we joke about Kerry's wild claims of meeting with world leaders and members of the UN Security Council and going to Cambodia-
Kerry's mental health can no longer be overlooked and hidden by the MSM.
The serious question that now must be asked is Kerry schizophrenic or even suffering from multiple personality disorder.
Which is why I believe his campaign refuses to release his miltary and medical records.
Because I can't be the first to notice Kerry's pattern of delusional and depressive behavior.

Kerry's old friend, George Butler details Kerry's muteness and withdrawal for at least a 3 day week end, following his election loss in 1972.

Kerry's diary indicates he was so disconsolate after returning from his Christmas trip to Cambodia, that he hoped he would be court martialed.
Kerry's mental history must be examined and any history of psychiatric treatment, hospitalizations and medication therapy must be made public.
Great stuff. Thanks for the ping.
The more I read about his arrogance, the more I despise this man. His inability to follow orders put every man under his command in danger. Why these guys support him is beyond me. He wanted out, and so he put himself before his crew. What a selfish, souless bastard. I hope he rots in hell.
Do we have another Thomas Eagleton in the making?
If it is true that Kerry has a mental disorder, then I don't hate him anymore. I take back all the times I have said he is a lying SOS. He can't help himself. He is simply bipolar and all that goes with it. He needs help. He needs to resign.
And the Dems need to completely revamp their party. They, collectively, also have a mental disorder these days!
Wow! I'm shocked!
I thought Kerry was a pompous a$$, but then I found out he tried to bribe Admiral Hoffman, confessing to the Admiral the things said in "Tour of Duty" were not nice [slander], then offering to change it if the Admiral would get the SBV's to stop their attack.
He's not just a pompous a$$, he's a lunatic!
Did you know that Kerry got Del Sandusky into rehab ??

"Over the years, Kerry has remained close to many of his crewmates, helping some cope with life's rough patches;
he helped arrange for Del Sandusky, a crewmate who was on FleetCenter stage last Thursday,
to receive help for alcohol abuse and depression years ago and kept in touch with Sandusky's doctors for years after."
