I'm am not a psychologist(just a hobby for me) but yes she does shows signs of manic-depression as well as delusions of grandeur, reality separation, anger transference, and schizophrenia. That is why I disagreed with the earlier poster that said she is evil. All of her actions point towards diminished or loss mental capacity. Jeffery Dalmer and Charles Manson are prime examples of evil. My fear for her is that left untreated as she has been for the last year + she may become beyond help. That is when suicide becomes the major concern. Of course in the meantime the rest of us have to suffer along with her(unfortunately).That the price we have to pay to live in this great country, you got to take the good with the bad. Until she seeks help and admit her problems I will continue to call her DUM DUM and the mental midget because anything else she would just take as a sign of support. I truly believe she is not playing with a full deck.
You asked for a comment, Fred? After reading this letter, I have read all the posts and am trying to regain my composure.

I met Joe Williams on Wednesday in Denver at our Support the Troops Rally. He was traveling with the "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy" tour sponsored by Move America Forward. His speech, as well as Deborah Johns, was very inspiring, but of course he isn't getting the media attention that Ms Sheehan is getting.
There is a lot about this letter that disturbs me, but one thing in particular I am having a very hard time coming to terms with.
From Mom of Two Soldiers Letter...
"How could you print Mike's name in your anti-war advertisement in the newspaper even after seeing the grief and effort his mother went through to go to Crawford to personally remove it from your cross. You knew it caused them pain.
Mike died honorably and his father, a Vietnam vet is very proud of him. He believed in what he was doing, just like Casey. How could you bring so much pain to the Williams family and so much pain to a nation because of your own anger?[...] Placing Mike Williams' name on a cross despite the family's objections was unforgivable and the reaction of Mike's mother when she saw it was heartbreaking."
Since this circus has started, I have tried to keep my posts positive...supporting the Troops and NOT giving Ms Sheehan ANY attention at all. She doesn't deserve or warrant any attention. But when I read what she has done to the William's' family, as well as putting at risk the rest of the soldiers who are serving their Country, I am...well...LIVID!
I do not accept "grief" or any other "illness" as an acceptable excuse for this behavior towards another grieving family.
MoveOn.org has exploited and used Sheehan the same way the network exploited and used Howard Beale, the Peter Finch character.
And when the network no longer needed Beale, well...
Please tell Your Son's Thank You for their Service and Thank You for the post and info.
UGH! What a disgusting thought. Brrr.. Sweet Hillary looks as good as Sophia Loren next to buttugly.
Mother Sheehan needs to be put on the defensive. This letter accomplishes that.
Thanks for your courage.
Tonk one thing you and everyone else doesn't have to worry about...is myself and my fellow soldiers remembering and honoring what Casey Sheehan did.
Even though his mom has p!ssed all over his grave...we never will.

I'm not a psycholigist either (but I play one online). I have also made a diagnosis:
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
FACTITIOUS DISORDER, (of which MUNCHAUSEN SYNDROME is a sub-type), (also called "Adult Munchausen", and "Adult Factitious Disorder") is a formal, DSM-IV mental health diagnosis in which people deliberately exaggerate and/or fabricate and/or induce physical and/or psychological-behavioral-mental health problems in themselves. The primary purpose of this behavior is to gain some form of internal gratification, such as attention, for themselves.Scary and soul-less behavior.
*shudders*

Thank you.
I'm sad Casey died (and my condolences to his family) but her current behaviour is inexcusable. She is a liar and traitor who supports those that killed her son.
Thank you for your service and the service of your sons (from a fellow serviceman).
Oh yeah, you've got that right! If something like that happened to her, the loonies that support her would most definitely blame it on the POTUS.
This is a wonderful, heartfelt letter.
I urge you to send it to every major newspaper in the country.
Thank you.
That she exploits other mother's sons is inexcusable and unforgivable.
Linda, this is powerful. Thank you for your sons' service to our country, and thank you for YOUR standing behind them and all our folks in uniform.
Folks, you know the MSM won't care about this. This'll never make the Op-Ed pages at the big papers. Nothing that makes Mother Sheehan look bad will see the light of day at the Old Grey Whore or the Washington Compost.
But we have our own weapons...talk radio, and the blogosphere. Get this confirmed for accuracy, and get it out to the New Media (of which FR is a bigger part than it sometimes gets credit for!). If Linda is willing, this can be a powerful weapon against the traitors like Cindy Sheehan.

Cindy didn't look exploited as they locked her up yesterday: She looked thrilled.
Agreed. I have felt it is Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome since day one. The strongest evidence is that she can not be swayed from her stance that Casey has been wronged, even for a minute.
Bipolar disorder has a very different face, and depression would have her out of the public eye for days at a time.
