Yale Medicine Professor of Psychiatry Bandy X. Lee claims that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has the “right to have [Trump] submit to an involuntary evaluation.” Professor Lee, of the Yale University School of Medicine, also serves as president of the World Mental Health Coalition.
She has been a longstanding and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, providing “translations” of his communications on her Twitter feed. Lee was also an editor on The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President, and is part of a movement demanding that the Judiciary Committee bring a panel of mental health experts to join impeachment proceedings. “As a coworker, she has the right to have him submit to an involuntary evaluation, but she has not,” Lee told Salon. “Anyone can call 911 to report someone who seems dangerous, and family members are the most typical ones to do so. But so can coworkers, and even passersby on the street.” The law dictates who can determine right to treatment, or civil commitment, and in all 50 U.S. states this includes a psychiatrist,” she continued.
“The advantage of a coworker starting this process is that a court can mandate a mental capacity evaluation before the dangerous person returns to work.” Lee also believes that those surrounding Trump may be suffering from a “shared psychosis.” She said that “the severity by which others are affected is what induces me to believe that Trump is sometimes truly paranoid and delusional rather than merely lying.” “We have created one of the most dangerous periods by first delaying impeachment and allowing his false sense of impunity to swell and then proceeding,” Lee warned in the interview. “Impeachment is much needed as ‘limit setting,’ and the House speaker has done well to set limits on the Senate by delaying the articles.”

Helicopters. Lots and lots of helicopters.
Why do even Lefties buy into this clickbait?
Her first.
No Ms Bandy Lee, communist Chinese spy. They are onto you too.
This woman has escalated from shooting her mouth off to actual sedition, and should face appropriate criminal charges.
Bandy X. Lee. Is that her stage name? Will she do appearances with Stormy Daniels?
Isn’t this the gal who isn’ even a psychiatrist and doesn’t have a psych license of any kind in Connecticut?
Given the doctor’s own criteria, I call on authorities to force her to submit to an involuntary assessment.
Pinochet had a good idea.
Bandy should be arrested, taken to GITMO and “involuntarily “ waterboarded with extreme prejudice prior to being exiled for the rest of her worthless, malignant life.
Dems are back on this story again. Guess impeachment didn't go as planned.
Dr. Bandy X. Lee?
Sounds like a Marvel comic books character
26 states that HIS CABINET, not some opposing politico, can make the evaluation that he is unfit for duty.
It is engaging and hilarious to watch these feckless dunderheads stagger and lurch from one path to another to try to get Trump out of office.
That is for sure. My shrink father in law would do the same thing too until we told him to butt out. We got tired of listening to him rail on over and over. He hates his life and is miserable.
The dirty little secret is most people either majoring in psych or in the field are there to try and figure out why they themselves are so screwed up in the head, to begin with.
Nancy Satan can do that?
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
This is an exquisite example of Leftist Projection coupled with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
because it reinforces their own skewered narrative.
