Psychiatrists, Experts Assess the "Dangerous Case" of Trump



Jan 1, 2018
https://democracynow.org - We revisit our interview with someone who’s led a discussion of mental health professionals who are deeply concerned about President Trump’s psychological instability. Dr. Bandy Lee is a forensic psychiatrist on the faculty of Yale School of Medicine who organized the “Duty to Warn” conference at Yale and edited the best-selling book, “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.”

Dr. Bandy Lee declares that she is not representing the views of Yale University, Yale School of Medicine or Yale Department of Psychiatry.

The last three words were eerie after all that serious concern, "Happy New Year."

i tried to get #MultiplePathologies to trend on twitter but have no real presence. however i was more right than even i knew. It's a really enlightening and validating book.

should never have been handed the presidency. the crisis will not be over until he's gone, the outcome is uncertain, the fear is real.

Look at how the stress is effecting his hands. He needs to use both to hold a water bottle. This happened to me during extremely stressful times in my life. My hands shook so badly and I had dry mouth too. He was already fucked up mentally but the stress of the job (a job that he really didn't want and was mainly a publicity stunt) along with the investigations on him and his pals and family have made him unravel extremely quickly. Last summer a group of psychiatrists marched in NYC to draw attention to their concerns about his mental health and the safety of the country.
