Psychiatrists debate on whether or not Donald Trump is mentally ill
Pulse / NY Times ^ | February 19, 2017 | Maria Fernanda Guanipa

Posted on 02/20/2017 7:17:11 AM PST by Zakeet

On Tuesday, American psychiatrists, psychologist, and mental health experts signed a letter warning about Trump's mental health. They believe that Trumps' emotional instability is reflected in his speeches and actions, and therefore he is not capable of serving safely as a president.

A lot of people have questioned President Trump' mental health. The concern has even gotten to the Congress, where representatives have considered proposing legislation that would require a psychiatrist in the White House. As well, NGOs, such as Change.org, have started petitions to remove Trump from the office given his mental condition.

Trump is a narcissist and a paranoid

Despite the self-imposed ethic rules that forbids psychiatrists from offering professional opinion regarding public figures they have not personally analyzed, a group of mental health experts - including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers - have gotten together to sign the letter, which intended to warn about the viability of Trump as a president because of his apparent mental health problems. The experts also called for a full medical and neuropsychiatric evaluation by impartial investigators.

This is not the first time that Trump's mental stability has been put into question.

Dr. Joyce Brothers was kicked out of the APA for this type of unethical behavior. I guess rules don't matter when dealing with Trump.

Just more agitprop from the far-left SJWs. They are also trying to claim that “whiteness” is a mental disease too. Just Google “whiteness is a mental illness” and you will be amazed.

Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union

No, they’re the rump USSR in exile. Mother Russia has veered right, so they’re now in full screech neo-McCarthyite mode. They’ve been screaming about fascists ever since their buddy Hitler turned on them in WWII, despite being fine with their ideological soulmates before then. Socialists and their internal squabbles, it always gets nasty. Trouble is, they have no other context with which to view opposition. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To a Soviet, opposition looks like a fascist.

Any word about what these shrinks think about those who hate and oppose President Trump dressing up like giant Vaginas and rioting in the streets?

It’s a perfectly reasonable and spontaneous uprising of giant vaginas.

I wish Zakeet wouldn’t post so much gaslighting propaganda on this site. It’s effects won’t show up immediately, but it does take a toll over time.

Maybe President Trump should use Alinsky's tactics on these mental health “professionals” and make them live up to their own “standards and rules”. He should file complaints with the medical ethics ethics board in the respective states and jurisdictions of these provocateurs. Lawfare can go both ways.

The psychiatric “profession” is the biggest fraud there is.

Trump is an eccentric and has an ego the size of Texas. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Øbongo was/is a malignant narcissist and sociopath. If he was allowed to roam freely then damn anyone who wants to rope The Donald.

They can play at this all they want but they should be reminded that, if they push too hard, it will get real bloody real fast.

Hey, I want these shrinks to study the effects masked momma’s in their burqas, chadors, niqab, hijab, have on their children. Scary. No wonder they grow up to be crazy.

“Social workers” are shrinks now? It sounds to me like Maria Fernanda Guanipa is the one who needs to be “analyzed”. LOL.

Mentally ill Leftist psycho-babble types are questioning the mental health of the president?

Isn't there a "pot calling the kettle black" somewhere in that claim?

There is some serious projection going on here.

The one argument in favor (that would make sense to the slimeballs in academia and the media )- *WHY* would someone leave their beloved tower, their son, make way less money, and take so much abuse? Who in their right mind would put up with the crap the President has? :-)

Those of us who can conceive of putting country before self get it, but most ‘elites’?
