The US has had a few Presidents with histories of depression...

London, June 2 (ANI): Hillary Clinton, the frontrunner to become the next American president, suffered serious bouts of depression when she was the U.S. First Lady in 1994.
According to former Watergate scandal journalist Carl Bernstein, Hillary also displayed persistent signs of melancholy as a student.
Bernstein quotes David Gergen, then a senior Clinton aide, as saying: "I don't know whether she was seeing a doctor or not but she was depressed" in his book -- "A Woman in Charge" in 1994, a year after her husband, Bill Clinton became president.
The book says Clinton's "emotional state" was "as fragile as it had ever been" in late 1994 after her close friend Vince Foster had committed suicide, her father had died and her healthcare proposals had been rejected.
Due to be published on Tuesday, the book, according to The Telegraph, could damage the New York senator's ambition to become America's first female president.
The claims are part of a potentially devastating portrait of a woman whom, Bernstein concludes, is controlling, aloof, dishonest and greatly flawed as a politician.
Although the Clinton campaign has attempted to dismiss the book, Bernstein's pedigree and sympathy towards the former first lady's policies make this difficult.
Advance media coverage has focused principally on suggestions that the Clintons came close to divorce in 1989. But accounts of Mrs Clinton's temper, tendency to bear grudges, lying, detachment and struggle to establish her own identity are likely to prove more damaging. The prospect of a commander-in-chief who might be prone to depression during a crisis could deter voters. (ANI)
That is always the case, when your life is given over to to the Evil One; Satan, as hers is!
Hi! :D
Mrs. Clinton and those silly F.B.I. files?
And maybe a threat of the same happening to them?
True, but I don’t want a Commander in Chief who has depression problems. If she is prone to depression, she should do something else for a living.
IMHO left wing politics promote depression. The libs are in the business of exaggerating grievances for political gain. They try to convince people that America is evil, unfair, racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. Their "victims" have to feel worse after hearing all that crap.
David Gergen is an intelligent man who worked at the Clinton WH and reported that HRC was depressed. Yet absolutely no one at the same Clinton WH noted anything about Vince Foster being depressed or legitimately attempted to get him medical treatment for it. It was only after the Foster murder that a "depression" myth took wings as an attempt to sustain the bogus "suicide" theory.
LOL!!!!
Another pass for Hillary.
There's no hard and fast rule that the same individual can't have all three or any combination of two of those entities.
I anxiously await the MSM to demand that Hitlery release her medical records. Methinks, sadly, that she will get a pass from her worshipful press.
“controlling, aloof, dishonest and greatly flawed”
Really, I wonder how he ever got that idea!!!!
Hillary is depressed all the time and she also has anger problems, she is not a well woman. It’s too bad that some mistake these qualities as intelligence.
Obviously, this makes her unfit to be president.
Hahaha
Peasants get “therapy”, the smartest woman in the world gets Socratic dialog!!!
Bwaaahahahaha
What a bunch of turds journalists are

I don't think you have reviewed all the evidence that has been made public (granted, more should have been, and more should have been developed by law enforcement). But there is more than enough out there to conclude that it was indeed a murder. And furthermore, since suicide is not a crime, there would not be the massive, multifaceted cover-up if (hypothetically) it were a suicide. Recall that many individuals have been convicted of murder without a living eyewitness to the event and without a confession.
Ping!
