"We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness," said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a "psychiatric Frankenstein monster."
Gartner and other psychiatrists at the conference argued that Trump suffers from a particularly malignant case of pathological narcissism, which makes him a danger to the country and the world.
"Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was president," Gartner explained. "If Donald Trump really believes he had the largest crowd size in history, that's delusional."
Dr. James Gilligan, a psychiatrist and professor at New York University, said that Trump's erratic behavior has similarly disturbed him despite the fact that he has lots of experience working with violent convicted criminals.
"I've worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away," he said. "You don't have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is."

“President Trump is so far ahead of the curve it is amazing to watch...”
*TRUMP BUMP*
Any actual professional knows you can’t diagnose a patient in this way.
As this is prima facie evidence of malpractice, I look forward to seeing every one of these charlatans have licenses revoked and suits filed against them for fraud.
Yeah we see his mental illness everywhere like climate change.
Excuse me, but isn’t the doctor showing he’s nuts if he believes the public at large is all saying Trump is mentally ill? Because, uh, they aren’t so he’s delusional.
Wouldn’t HIPAA apply at all to these stupid diagnosis in public??? How dare they!!
I remember the Goldwater incident: the same bunch, or their predecessors, claimed that Barry was certifiably crazy after he became the GOP nominee in 1964. They had never met him, never interviewed him - it was all political and designed to screw someone who didn’t share their politics. Pathetic then, pathetic now; they should be stripped of their licences.

>>There is a word for psychiatrists who diagnose patients without ever examining them. Ducks say it a lot.
And lawyers say ‘Malpractice’...
There was an alleged freeper here several months ago, can’t remember the name, who posted nothing but this horseclinton for a couple days.
Wow...it would take me all day to respond to these posts individually.
Let me just say that I’m really impressed. You folks have all just proven yourselves to have more professional ethics and common sense than these so-called psychiatrists ever will.
Hey, Johnny, I can recognize a liberal wacko from a mile away.
Giving a diognosis without examining a patient is reckless and I believe a violation of medical ethics. Move to have his license to practice revoked.
Most dangerous of all he maintains a delusional notion of aan obsolete historical entity called a “nation”, specifically named as “The United States of Anetica” and regards himself and many others as “citizens” of this fantasy. Not as dangerous as religious syndrome but nearly.
America.
Just to be clear, I DIDN’T post this because I agree with it. I posted it because it’s both funny and scary at the same time.

Blurkell?
Reads like something from The Onion.
My opinion is simply that he is an idiot, and not since 1930-40 Germany has being an idiot been cause for sanction.
Funny how that Obama displayed characteristics of narcissism and despotism, but the liberal Think Tanks couldn’t discern that? And, now, when a leader actually shows statesman-like qualities, he’s mentally ill? Wow.
The North Koreans can too. Anyone who is doing what is wrong can recognize dangerousness (sic) from miles away.
“No psychiatrist worth his couch would diagnose a patient like this. It borders on malpractice.”
And then there was USSC Justice Scalia’s post-mortem medical “exam” BY PHONE.
