Yale psychiatry professor Bandy Lee has been raising concerns about President Trump’s mental health for over a year and suggested in a new interview that Trump should be physically contained for an “urgent evaluation” to determine his mental state.
In a Vox interview published Saturday, reporter Eliza Barclay asks Lee, “Okay, so you’re calling for an evaluation; you’re serious about that. How could he possibly be evaluated, since it seems like he wouldn’t voluntarily do it?”
Lee responded, “We encounter this often in mental health. Those who most require an evaluation are the least likely to submit to one. That is the reason why in all 50 states we have not only the legal authority, but often the legal obligation, to contain someone even against their will when it’s an emergency. So in an emergency, neither consent nor confidentiality requirements hold. Safety comes first. What we do in the case of danger is we contain the person, we remove them from access to weapons, and we do an urgent evaluation.”

I believe the license for this Psychiatrist to practice....needs to be evaluated. I’m also worried about the mental health of the psychiatrist...he might need an evaluation.
This guy is obviously a nutjob, but...
What this does is raise the fever of the left. What he suggests is ludicrous today, but the left is on a slippery slope. How many degrees must the left’s temperature increase before taking his suggestion is not so ridiculous?
They did this in the old Soviet Union to
Stalinist tactics. Disgusting.
I believe Bandy Lee is Crazy.
Can we confine her now?
This is personal for her, clearly, and that is in and of itself highly unprofessional.
By my read this nutjob is suggesting forcible detainment of an acting US President. Paging the Secret Service...
Most..if not all...psychiatrists need regular therapy themselves.
And this is garbage left motivated excrement anyhow. I’d pay into a fund raiser to have this shrink investigated and as thoroughly as thorough gets.
This is fantasy anyway. Pence and the Cabinet will not do invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment. This is just another example of Liberals not being able to get over losing the election.
What is the acceptable way to handle an onslaught of negative from a majority of those with media reach? Twitter? That’s it.
If DJT is unfit then 305 worth of electoral votes are unfit. Therefore unfit leading the unfit. So now what?
Elections have consequences.
Is there a Freeper attorney in CT who can start malpractice and license removal charges against this attorney?
The Secret Service still protects the real crazy President Obama ,LOL
“...since this will really look like a coup, and while we are trying to prevent violence, we don’t wish to incite it through, say, an insurrection.”
The insurrection would be in your direction, bwitch.
But they had no concern about the soundness of Obama’s sick, twisted, anti-American, communist, homo, moslem, hate-whitey mind. He caused the rise of BLM which got lots of police and citizens killed. He permitted Hezbollah to sell illegal drugs in the US to save his Iranian deal which provided them with cash to sponsor global terrorism and build nuclear weapons.
Obama was one very mentally disturbed puppy. Not one person I recall raised concerns about his fitness for office.
This guy is making threats. The scret service should pay Bandy a visit.
These people are insane!!!! Most head squeezers are and this is a poster child for that. Incredible......damn!!
Why does this “doctor” (who publicly defames
people under the color of Medicine without
so much as a single interview) have license?
Since Yale supports this:
Why does Yale have a clinical license?
Maybe she can get the US military to take POTUS into custody for his own safety?
chortle
All because a sitting POTUS reminded a threatening enemy known for reckless use of nuclear threats against us and our allies that the USA has the means and will to retaliate?
Ho-hum
The statements by POTUS seems to have defused the situation, with the two Koreas talking about Olympic participation.
Oh.
Said psychiatrist is NOT, according to Pacinek, board-certified. Said non-board-certified *psychiatrist* has never spoken with or seen the subject professionally.
Right.
They said/did the same thing to Goldwater, which is why it is now unethical to do so.
The intimated similar things about “tear down that wall”, “the bombing starts in 5 minutes”, “evil Empire”, (horrors!)”Evil Doers” and “Mission Accomplished!”
All righty, then....let’s get right on this in about another 7 years or so. Meanwhile, Branda, why not chill with some Gorilla TV?
