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

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.

This is how they may successfully remove him from office. I predict some of his cabinet will start resigning and telling lies. I hate that he put elite politicians in the cabinet.

Next rinos in Congress will join in. McCain has already started.

The real crazies are those who hate him for no reason other than they’re being told to by the media and politicians.

The question is will the people stand with Trump? We’ve got to attend rallies. If his enemies see small turnouts they’ll be encouraged to act. If they do, we must decide if this is the hill we’re willing to .... You KNOW what I mean.

Social workers are “mental health professionals”? WTF. The social workers I’ve run across from time to time are some of the stupidest, rigid minded people on the planet. The only reason they are social workers is picking vegetables is just too much work.

What a totally unprofessional thing to do!

This is a repudiation of the Hippocratic oath as well—”First, do no harm”.

Because as they are not treating Trump, nor have access to any of his medical records or Donald himself, it is totally bunk and a misuse of their status and position.

They ought to have their licenses to practice medicine revoked.

Quacks!

“Well, I haven’t examined him, but I’m aware of his policy regarding immigration, so I am ready to give my diagnosis on his mental health ...” — said no true professional psychiatrist ever.

>> Just like EVERY OTHER Republican President<<

Just another left wing boiler plate libel.
I was teasing some liberal the other night who said this and I replied; "Why should I believe you since you said this about every Republican president AND candidate?"

“Mental illness” used as weaponized “science?”

More than a few psychiatrists go into that field from medicine because they need help...for the most part they are devoid of reality and think their opinions are the correct ones.

Trump mentally ill? Just a throw out line to keep you off balance....why do these detractors get ink and why am I wasting time trying to make sense of it............?

Oh for gawd sakes

It is clearly a war going on now. never a question of commie obommie’s mental health (if you like your doctor out and out lies, past associations with Wright, Ayers, Dorhn, et al)

or Clinton, the pathological liar, rape enabler, traitor.....Naw, she’s perfectly healthy . . .

But Trump who’s build a billion dollar empire and who came out of nowhere to win the Presidency.....well he’s got mental issues

Most Zikaiatrists were the least mentally stable medical students in their cohort.

I have a very strong minor in psychology. That was in the early sixties. Even then, when I was young, I knew that these instructors were ‘nuts’.

What respectable practitioner would attempt to diagnose someone without spending serious diagnostic time with them? These people should lose their licenses.

"representatives have considered proposing legislation that would require a psychiatrist in the White House."

Of course such legislation would be blatantly unconstitutional. There's this thing called separation of powers.

“Psychiatrists debate on whether or not Donald Trump is mentally ill”

There is no need to debate on whether Psychiatrists are mentally ill.

The New York Times continues to demonstrate the vicious & unethical tactics that I described in my novel Return Of The Gods, 20 years ago.

They continue to take intellectual dishonesty to new lows.

So Trump in mentally unstable, but according to these quacks, the nba and the nfl, a pervert who wears a dress and wants to take a dump around little girls is perfectly normal

“It used to be that shrinks were there to help.”

They’re only interested in milking the insurance for as much as they can get.
