It appears Kerry may suffer from a MENTAL DISORDER known as Somnambulism

From:
http://www.vnh.org/Admin/MSCMedManual/Chapter5.html#5.7

Mental Disorders.

1. Drug Addiction. Physiological or psychological addiction, untreated or treatment failure. Refer to ACMO for final determination.

2. Use of Prescription Drugs. Being under the influence of an unprescribed narcotic, barbiturate, amphetamine, hallucinogen or alcohol at the time of examination.

3. Use of Controlled Substances. Having used an unprescribed controlled substance, Schedule 1 or 2, other than marijuana within the preceding year.

4. Substance Abuse. Having a pattern of using a drug or chemical substance, including marijuana or alcohol.

5. Current Use of Prescribed Medications. Current use of or need to use the following medications.

1. Methadone. Methadone or a related drug.

2. Antabuse. Disulfiram (Antabuse) or a related drug (evaluation on a case-by- case basis).

6. Medical Conditions Requiring Mood Modifiers. Any diagnosis requiring the continued use of any of the following medications.

1. Neuroleptic Drugs. Phenothiazines, butyrophenones and related drugs.

8. Affective Disorders. History of schizophrenic or major affective disorder or psychotic disorder.

9. Somnambulism. Sleepwalking after age 12.


So should Kerry, who may be suffering form a MENTAL Disorder be qualified to be President of The United States fo America?

The United States Military disqualifies a person if they sleepwalk and seperates them form service...

IE: I believe Kerry should be disqualified as running for Commander in Chief if he is not able to LEGALLY serve.






Further:
http://www.af.mil/band/info/medical.asp

OFFICIAL United States Air Force website

Borderline Disqualification. The military entrance processing station medical officer normally gives the motivated applicant every chance to qualify despite a borderline or technical disqualification; however, there are many conditions where there is no way to authorize enlistment."

Psychiatric:

* Any psychosis at any time (typically schizophrenia or manic-depressive psychosis).
* Psychoneurosis if it requires hospitalization or caused loss of more than a week's time.
* Personality disorders--manifested by:
* Sleepwalking or eating disorders that are habitual or persistent, occurring beyond age 12.




This Psychiatric MENTAL DISORDER needs tro be specifically addressed by John Kerry..

The People have a right to know if a Candidate is UNFIT for Command as Commander in Chief or President if he may have a DIAGNOSED Mental Disorder....

Observations, discussion....

As well as another Disorder:

Narcissistic Personality Disorder.... Hmmm... An explanation

From:
http://www.mentalhealth.com/dis1/p21-pe07.html

Diagnostic Criteria

A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes


Differential Diagnosis

Histrionic Personality Disorder; Antisocial Personality Disorder; Borderline Personality Disorder; Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder; Schizotypal Personality Disorder; Paranoid Personality Disorder; Manic Episodes; Hypomanic Episodes; Personality Change Due to a General Medical Condition; symptoms that may develop in association with chronic substance use.




I'd say that IMHO, this may POSSIBLY explain Kerry's actions as an individual and may be worth checking into...

Perhaps we can get some help for him...

This is just my opinion, and it may be wrong, but this is the way I see it...

Here is a site for self-diagnosis...

Maybe Kerry can confirm this or not?

Don't worry Kerry,

"Help is on the way"

Thoughts observations, am I full of bunk when I came across this?

Joe
