Yale Psychiatrist believes Trumps mental health is a world emergency.

No, no, no, that's not the right question. The right question is, why don't you want to listen to a group of highly decorated medical professionals with something important to say. This thread is not about me, it's about news, Science and Public interest. Don't let your Whirly derangement Syndrome blur how important this could be.

Lol@ "this thread isn't about me".

Sure it is. Why play dumb?

They probably taste like sweat and opiate metabolites, knowing the psychiatry's community's penchant for prescription pain meds.

That's where you're wrong. I posted a thread just about Whirly. Go there if you wish to discuss just Whirly's mental health issues.

Surt a Yale Profs opinion along with other MD's on the POTUS's mental health is surely thread worthy and I'm sorry you want to make it about me. Whirly derangement theory is a bad thing bruv!

Lol. We all know it's about you.

So Surt, you are choosing what news should be discussed then, is that what you are saying? Because I made the thread... The story is not noteworthy? Or worth discussing?

You're mimicking me again. As always, this is very flattering :0

I just checked. Only mentally handicap people use scales that go from 0-10. Normal people use scales that go from 1-10.

After assembling a panel of experts, we've decided to diagnose you:

You're retarded.

Let's face it, you don't really have to be an expert to see how Trump's behaviour has changed over the years. Old interviews of him show him expressing his opinions far more effectively than he does now. So either his mental capacity has reduced for whatever reason or he's faking it now because he thinks using words with as few syllables as possible means he's connecting with his supporters i.e he thinks they're all dumb.

TLDR. Mental health professionals feel they have an ethical/social responsibility to comment on what they are witnessing with Trump, and that given the potentially disastrous consequences of staying silent, behavioral observation is sufficient for said commentary.

Further, my understanding is that the DSM-5 is generally geared more toward diagnoses based on observed behavior over inferred psychodynamics: another impetus for updating the Goldwater rule.
