Dr. Bandy Lee was let go last May after being accused of “recklessness” and a “serious violation” of professional ethics, according to court papers. A high-profile psychiatrist says she was fired by Yale University after repeatedly calling then-President Trump and his supporters mentally ill — and is now suing the college for unlawful termination. Dr. Bandy Lee — who has been an analyst on CNN and written op-eds for the New York Times — was let go last May after being accused of "recklessness" and a "serious violation" of professional ethics, according to court papers. Lee had been a constant alarmist over Trump’s mental health, penning a 2017 book, "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump," and even raising her fears to lawmakers that same year. The attacks continued even after she was fired — including a since-deleted tweet last November in which she compared Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Fox News noted at the time. "Donald Trump is not Adolf Hitler," the tweet read. "At least Hitler improved the daily life of his followers, had discipline, and required more of himself to gain the respect of his followers. Even with the same pathology, there are varying degrees of competence." Her proclamations defy an American Psychiatric Association rule forbidding professional opinions about public figures who have not been examined, her own lawsuit admitted. But Lee said that does not apply to her, because she is no longer a member of the group — and the rule is just an attempt to "gag" its members from vital public warnings. Earlier this month she refused to comment on President Biden, writing that she does not "diagnose without examination … unless there is evidence of profound danger to public health and well-being."

It is clear from other news reports that this woman is severely deranged. She needs to work on herself more and stop worrying so much about what other people she doesn’t even know are doing.
If your “profession” is diagnosing mental illness, then casually throwing out a broad brush diagnosis of 80 million fellow citizens should disqualify you from being taken seriously - and being employed.

The lefts war against Asians. Crazy as some may be.
She must have received her license from one of those schools on a back of a match book cover.
Nutty as squirrel hsit.
Fake news.
Since they use ECT and Major Tranquilizers; show me a psychiatrist and I will show you a murderer.
She was not wise to say it, but ignorance, even malicious ignorance, should not cause a person to be fired.
You mean she wasn’t promoted???
Psychiatry. Talk about fake science.
It’s a profession invented to give liberals something to do.
It’s not just overreach, it’s her boundless undisciplined state of mind that enables her to arrive at such ridiculous conclusions.
She obviously is a quack.
—”Show me a psychiatrist and I’ll show you someone with more “issues” than all the newsstands in Times Sq”
Not always true.
I have a friend of over fifty years, he happens to be a psychiatrist MD, appears ok to me?
He started as an internist, did not care for it, and returned to school ... many years now a psychiatrist.
