"We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness," said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a "psychiatric Frankenstein monster."
Gartner and other psychiatrists at the conference argued that Trump suffers from a particularly malignant case of pathological narcissism, which makes him a danger to the country and the world.
"Worse than just being a liar or a narcissist, in addition he is paranoid, delusional and grandiose thinking and he proved that to the country the first day he was president," Gartner explained. "If Donald Trump really believes he had the largest crowd size in history, that's delusional."
Dr. James Gilligan, a psychiatrist and professor at New York University, said that Trump's erratic behavior has similarly disturbed him despite the fact that he has lots of experience working with violent convicted criminals.
"I've worked with murderers and rapists, I can recognize dangerousness from a mile away," he said. "You don't have to be an expert on dangerousness or spend fifty years studying it like I have in order to know how dangerous this man is."

Trump is 70 years old. He has been in a VERY public spotlight for 40 years.
What more is there to learn about him that isn’t known?
Oh. Just lie. It’s the democrat way.
Soon it will be listed in the GSM as a mental illness
Where were these people through the Obama administration??
Wish I had a little of his mental illness... Maybe just a multi-millionaire instead of a billionaire. Now it’s all just silly.
More university lunacy?
Oh Yale Hes!
“Just to be clear, I DIDN’T post this because I agree with it. I posted it because it’s both funny and scary at the same time”
The article is very enlightening. Thank you for posting.
Conservatives are delusional because they don’t agree or believe in different things,then the liberal mainstream.Apparently they are doubly dangerous if they are elected.
This is slander. Trump should sue.
When most people say “I’m a billionaire, I’m a billionaire,” they are mentally ill. When Trump says it, it is simply the truth.
Nonsense, and they know it. They’re just hoping it sticks.
Here it is again, folks. The recurring rat/liberal ruse, and wishfully, a law, that THEY can classify each of us as nuts, to take all that we have.
Ah, you will be assimilated and should be institutionalized. :-)
This post looks vaguely familiar. Am I sane doc? :-)
A high bar to sue in the US. However, being possibly an international business man, he may be able to sue in the UK, where the bar is very low. Defamation is routinely litigated there with the plaintiff winning. An interesting question.
Yup. They are highly “motivated” to continue the doctor-client relationship for personal gain, no matter the cost to the actual “patient”.
Dr. John Gartner sounds like a really troubled individual.
That is the truth! I have had the same experience. When I was a kid one day the strangest girl was playing with us because her parents were visiting with mine. I am not being mean but she was just not close to being a normal kid. I asked my mom about it but of course my mom just gave me some answer about being kind to everyone. As time passed I found out that girl’s dad was a psychiatrist. Through the years met a couple more; strange people with strange families, all of them.
Yes. But spellchecker is a diabolical invention of a psychiatrist.
Looks like the psychiatry “experts” have dangerous mental illness.
Sounds like the perfect description of Barack Obama.
