If you ever have need of the services of a psychiatrist, I would strongly recommend you select one besotted with liberal ideology. First of all, you'd save a ton of money. That's because liberal psychiatrists are blessed with the gift of being able to diagnose you without even having seen you. That means you're consultations need not last very long.
I should warn you, however, that you can be sure that if you're a political conservative, you are likely to be committed to a mental institution.
More than 50 years ago, a psychiatrist published an article that stated flatly GOP candidate Barry Goldwater was crazy. The editor of the publication, Ralph Ginzburg, was sued for libel by Goldwater who subsequently won a $75 K judgement.
And just weeks before election day in 1964, hundreds of psychiatrists and psychologists signed an open letter claiming that Goldwater was unfit psychologically to be president. Ever since then, the American Psychiatric Association has had a policy known as "The Goldwater Rule" that ethically forbids mental health professionals from commenting on the mental state of a public figure they have not examined.
I guess these academic psychiatrists didn't get the memo.

Like Hannibal Lecter.
BINGO! WINNER!
Like Hannibal Lecter.
One of the signers jumps right out as my favorite self important lunatic.
“Diane “Dee” Mosbacher, MD, Ph.D., (born January 13, 1949 in Houston, Texas) is an American filmmaker, lesbian feminist activist, and practicing psychiatrist.”
The picture with the wiki article strongly suggests she has just wet her finger and stuck on an electric wire.
The glasses finish the picture; screaming mentally unstable!
These people cannot grasp the reality that it is THEY who are mentally ill not Trump or us for voting for him. The stunt these maggots pulled in 1964 won’t work today because they have so completely discredited themselves.
I worked in the mental health field and I can tell you most of the doctors I dealt with were out of sync with the rest of the world.
Hillary and Obama are sociopaths, and they’re fine with it. The psychology field is filled with leftists.
I came to the conclusion some time ago that people who become shrinks, on a large part, knew there was something wrong with them and what a better way to figure it out was to engage in the learning of what it takes to make diagnosis on themselves without letting anyone else in on their perceived psychosis.
But the psychiatry profession wants more money which means more patients which is provided by unlimited coverage. That means having gender dysphoria diagnosed in young children. It means having alcoholism treated with expensive individual therapy where AA would do just as well if not better. It means turning the opioid epidemic into a business opportunity.
I don't mean to trivialize any of these issues for anyone struggling with them. But the psychiatric profession wants to expand beyond reasonable acute cases to making everyone a victim with mandatory taxpayer-funded psychiatric sessions.
And that is why they hate Trump.
Although I am NOT a psychologist, nor ever pretended to be one, that has been my limited experience, too. With the addition of the word "slovenly" added to their general description.
Which simply adds to their periodic explosion of irrationality as a group, joining the madnesss of groups...
How Stalinist. Just declare your political opponents crazy and then take them out.
I put psychology majors in that statement also.
Every psych major I knew in college had a screw loose and was majoring in it:
a) to be with other crazies or,
b)in it so they could figure out how to tighten the screw down!
That doesn’t surprise me one bit.
Yeah, but Hannibal Lecter was a character, not a real person
I believe that the proper title for that is “Sedition”.
Different name, same effect on the country.
It might be worth some searching to see exactly how many libs have built cases for prosecution for that crime so far this year.
...I’m not counting Senators or members of Congress, of course. /sarc
Did the psychiatrist get license in Mexico or Cuba?.
psychologist A person trained and educated to perform psychological research, testing, and therapy.
Nuts!
I read the letter and they want Trump impeached because they don’t like his policies. OK, they don’t like his personality but that’s not evidence of mental unfitness to serve in office.
Good luck with it. Maybe liberal psychiatrists should examine their own lack of ethics before they pass judgment upon Trump.
Screw them! Put them all against a wall.
“”Impeachment is for crimes, not for soothing sore losers.””
So true and to the point. Nothing left to be said!!
Aren’t there some contradictions in your post? You wrote about your “personal” experience and then on a “professional” experience as zero; having never used one. Which is it?
