Yale professor and clinical psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee has warned that President Donald Trump may bring about the “extinction of the human species” because of his mental instability.
Lee, who has briefed members of congress on the president’s psychological state, insisted that her extreme prediction was “not hyperbole” but “reality.”
Dr. Lee said told Newsweek that the situation is so grave that “a public health emergency” should be declared that would need to be “responded to as quickly as possible.”
“As more time passes, we come closer to the greatest risk of danger, one that could even mean the extinction of the human species,” she said. “This is not hyperbole. This is the reality.”

According to the American Psychiatric Association’s Goldwater Rule, members may not comment on the psychological health of someone they haven’t actually examined, but Lee said she doesn’t believe that her evaluation of the President’s mental health violates the rule.
Trump has shown “an attraction to violence and powerful weapons,” Lee said. “He has also repeatedly taunted a hostile nation.”
Lee said that Trump’s speech patterns also say something about the state of the President’s mental health.
“He cannot seem to finish sentences, he derails from his line of thinking, he has loose associations and he jumps from one topic or another,” she said, which could indicate a psychiatric or medical condition.
Following on Trump’s assertions on social media of his mental stability and intelligence, Lee said that deflecting or projecting “are often concerning signs,” and seemed to suggest that Trump could even be a candidate for forcible commitment.

Please, if you wish to inquire or complain, do not pester OPMC with irrelevant political opinions.
There is a narrow factual question here, which is, do her writings, especially in her new book, constitute unprofessional conduct, to wit, making a diagnosis and recommending detention against someone’s will without performing an evaluation consistent with the standard of care?
Lee said that deflecting or projecting “are often concerning signs,” and seemed to suggest that Clinton could even be a candidate for forcible commitment.
There, fixed it for her.
Well, hallelujah! Isn’t that what the leftist treehuggers have been wishing for? Haven’t they said that humans have been the ruination of the planet? So Trump might turn out to be the savior of the planet, by offing all us deplorable wretches....along with all the loony lefties, too, of course.
All these psycho-chiatrists need to have their heads examined....
He says that as if that would be a bad thing.
Well, if he does, it would totally solve the “man-made climate change” problem, correct???
Isn’t this what the left wants???
Why doesn’t the American Psychiatric Association sanction her or censure her? Don’t they realize that they have very little credibility left if they allow this to go unpunished? Attacking people based on the “sanity” that you don’t know or have never met is exactly what Stalin and Hitler did.
Here is wikipedia's definition...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater_rule
The Goldwater rule is the informal name given to Section 7 in the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) Principles of Medical Ethics[1] that states it is unethical for psychiatrists to give a professional opinion about public figures they have not examined[further explanation needed] in person, and from whom they have not obtained consent to discuss their mental health in public statements.[2] It is named after presidential candidate Barry Goldwater.[3][4]
The issue arose in 1964 when Fact published the article "The Unconscious of a Conservative: A Special Issue on the Mind of Barry Goldwater".[3][5] The magazine polled psychiatrists about U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater and whether he was fit to be president.[6][7] The editor, Ralph Ginzburg, was sued for libel in Goldwater v. Ginzburg where Goldwater won $75,000 (approximately $592,000 today) in damages.[3]
Section 7, which appeared in the first edition of the APA's Principles of Medical Ethics in 1973 and is still in effect as of 2017,[8] says:
On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.[1]
This is like basing public policy on the advice of a witch doctor, a fortune-teller or a tarot card reader. She may as well have read tea leaves and cast a few toad warts and crystals.
That taxpayer money is siphoned off into this utter nonsense is disgraceful. Someone should name and shame whoever spent time entertaining this lunatic on the public purse.
2 Timothy 3: 3 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
If he does, I sure hope he starts with the liberals
every time i see the phrase “Yale Professor”, i immediately know that what follows will be nonsense so mind-bogglingly ridiculous that only another “Yale Professor” will give it credibility ...
These anti-Trumpers all suffer from “Optical Rectitus: A crossing of the optic nerve and rectum creating a sh***y outlook on everything.”. Of course with their heads positioned where they are, a proctologist may be required to perform an extraction before any other treatment can take place.
Based on the above, shouldn’t #3 be Defecation?

This is apropos, because there's a favorite saying one hears and reads a lot lately, although it comes from the late D.P. Moynihan -- "you are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your own set of facts." Creating fake facts is soup to nuts what the Demagogic Party and its shills practice.
Thanks RoosterRedux.
Eli Yale must be rolling over in his grave....I think if he knew kooks would be running it, he would have thrown the donation into Long Island Sound...
