Doctor Who Wrote ‘Goldwater Rule’ Says He Would Recommend Dementia Tests For Trump

[Harry Dresden]

An author of the 1973 American Psychiatric Association standard says it was never meant to stop doctors from expressing their opinions based on public information.

WASHINGTON ― A psychiatrist who helped craft the 1973 “Goldwater rule” that has kept many mental health professionals from opining on Donald Trump for nearly a decade said that it was not intended as a hard-and-fast prohibition, and that if he were Trump’s doctor, he would order a full battery of tests to determine the cause of what he believes could be the former president’s dementia.

“He seems to be progressively cognitively impaired,” said Allen Dyer, a retired George Washington University psychiatry professor.

Dyer said Trump’s recent behavior warrants medical evaluation, like his apparent inability to remain focused on a single topic or string together complete sentences, for example, or his confusing of people, as he has repeatedly done with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. And more recently, his loss of interest in taking questions at his own campaign event, followed by a demand that his staff play some of his favorite songs while he stood onstage and swayed to the music.

“I find it concerning that he doesn’t complete his sentences, seems to lose track of the question he is trying to answer, or avoid, and that one thought doesn’t lead to another, but appears to veer tangentially off track,” Dyer said.

“I would want to do lab studies, imaging studies, and a battery of psychological tests,” Dyer said. “One would want to know if this is dementia and decreased cognitive function.”

Smoler said it would be important to figure out if Trump’s problems are organic, based in brain chemistry or other physical factors, or psychological, such as anxiety and stress. “The first thing to do is to understand the problem,” he said. “Then you try to figure out if there’s a treatment.”

Maybe this is why Trump refuses to release any of his medical records. He definitely seems to have a mental problem of some kind. What do you think?

Doctor Who?....

Lakookta's bags are packed, he's ready to go....
His TDS, is ready to blow....

Trump is wearing diapers and will soon be slobbering and foaming at the mouth.

And still able to shut down the border and lower prices.

 

[jbrownson0831]

It won't happen, except possibly as a defense ploy of reduced capacity, due to mental infirmary in upcoming criminal trials, after he loses the election.

Good thing you live in Shangri-La. You will be protected from all the violence from your ilk when Trump wins.

Oh, ME Personally. I didn't know you were going off-topic for a personal attack. I thought you were suggesting inline with the thread topic, that you were including me in the group that thinks Trump should be tested.
I guess you can just get fucked, personally or go fuck yourself.

It's okay....it will all be over soon.

Kamala. Now that would be a doozy.

Where has this clown been the past 3/ 1/2 years of us seeing Biden start off doddering and getting worse all the time?

Just another sordid attempt at an October surprise by leftoids.

The same clown back in January 2018:

Are Donald Trump’s test results fake news?

On Tuesday night the White House doctor strode into the glare of the global press to allay concerns that the president’s mind was fading. Donald Trump had attai

It would be a challenge for mental health professionals to come up with a mental health test for a subhuman window licker like Trump.

There's just not enough time before the election, but anyone with a brain can see that he's out of his mind.

Someday Trump will be having dinner at MAL when he'll suddenly get up from the table, drop his Depends & take a leak in the punch bowl.

I truly feel sad for someone like you. Why? Because I feel you actually believe the bullshit you posted.

I feel sad for you because you think Trump is actually sane. He was a nutter & a scumbag long before he rode down the escalator.

Sure let’s see Biden take it too.

Biden's the President until January

He is ruining the board with his dementia.

And where was this leftoid Doctor while the world was witnessing Biden descend into stage 4 dementia?

Anyone voting for Trump should be subject to a dementia test.
