Junk science.

Sleep apnea is mental illness? And social phobia - Isn't that just shyness? If it's so bad they are truly phobic, I doubt they could get through a campaign.

Now people may have a tendency towards certain problems, but who doesn't?

I take it you are not sold on the notion that half of our presidents, including some of the leading lights, were nutters? Is that a fair synopsis of your opinion?

By the way, where is LBJ on the list?

I dare say these shrinks could/would determine nearly anyone has a tendency to "mental illness". Aometimes the diagnosis is all "in the eye of the beholder".

How come they haven't used their lacrosse team as subjects? I think they might be good objects of a study.

Even junk science used to be better! "Howard Taft apparently suffered from sleep apnea." (Never heard anyone call him Howard, did you?) The man was morbidly obese, not surprising if he had trouble breathing, and is this a mental illness now?
