'Just as in Education, the Left has taken over the ‘Psychiatry/Psychology area of medicine. '

It was clear when homosexuality stopped being a mental illness, and that was not because of any new scientific research, but because on April 9, 1974, 5,854 of 17,905 APA members (32.7%) had voted that it wasn't a mental illness.

"Homosexuality: The Mental Illness That Went Away"

The clinical lore (at least in my day) was that too often the reason that physicians choose the specialty of psychiatry was that they were pretty crazy themselves, and they hoped to exorcise their own demons. (Generally unsuccessfully.)

If these psychiatrists and psychologists think that Trump is going to be removed by a palace coup -- they are wildly delusional.

I also suspect that many of the Leftists were/are LGBTQXYZ and went into the field so they could ‘normalize’ their own behavior/mental problems. This has been going on for a long time. And Psychiatrist/Psychologist speaking out against prevailing ‘conclusions’ will be ostracized, if not prosecuted.
