The real problem is keeping it from becoming yet another political weapon. Mental health professionals aren't exactly known for their spine, or their integrity (Just dumpster dive for all the various scandals, dirt, or cases where a professional said "Everything's A-OK" with a thumbs up, and suddenly their charge hangs themself or shoots up a concert)
What happens if a president is totally fine, but the health pro just doesn't like him? Get a second opinion? And what happens if there's industry wide bias, or one side is better at the pressure game then the other?

It's not hard to imagine it being used maliciously against a world leader if you've seen even one season of 24. How about thousands upon thousands of 1st year psych students blindly analyzing the profiles of all the worlds leaders? They would all be tested year in, year out by people who may not have the experience to offer a definitive diagnosis, but the sheer numbers of them could offer some good insights. They would also probably lack the experience/wisdom to be able to identify who the individual world leaders they are analyzing actually are which would mitigate the bias.

I'm scared to watch this... believe it or not some one... well, p-people, sometimes say I might be a narcissist... Don't see it myself I'm far too good looking for that shit, If I say so myself and I'm always right.
A good point. If something as partisan and inconsequential as the mental health status of an air traffic control... controller?... isn't something subject to partisanship, then surely the mental health of political opposition won't be.

However, I think if Trump is suddenly seen as mentally ill, you have to admit a lot of people diagnosed as mentally ill are due to outside conditions. People usually try to check up on people they don't like and force them into treatments, it seems somehow. Think of all the Hollywood stars, it happens to them. Many of the most famous die.

So basically you're having another psychotic episode, and resent the people in your life who try to help you?

No, and my mom died in December, from 3 kinds of cancer (breast, bone, and eye.) My parents/aunt got me on medicine and I am stuck living with my dad (and little brother) and have to take it.
I'm actually very good, about perfect behavior, such a good reputation, play piano, etc. etc. etc., all growing up. I ran into intervention of others when I finally struggled in a class because the schools I went to before were much easier with busywork though (so not really easy.) This happened twice. I'm just teaching myself violin and German so I can go to Germany and experience good classical music.
I am not having any psychotic episodes (?) though when someone says that to you there's no convincing them otherwise.

If you ever do go to Germany, don’t just stay in Germany. Traveling around Europe by trains is super cheap. I took a train from Nuremberg to Prague, round trip, and it only cost me 50 euros.
