"The American Psychiatric Association called out members of its profession for offering their professional opinions about public figures—namely those they haven’t personally examined.
The rebuke comes after questions about President Trump’s mental fitness have surfaced in recent days.
"We at the APA call for an end to psychiatrists providing professional opinions in the media about public figures whom they have not examined, whether it be on cable news appearances, books, or in social media," the group wrote.
"Arm-chair psychiatry or the use of psychiatry as a political tool is the misuse of psychiatry and is unacceptable and unethical."
If you think this will stop ... or even slow down ... the idiots who are declaring Trump has mental issues based on BUTT-HURT HATE-DRIVEN POLITICAL PARTISANSHIP you are wasting your time. Seditious Snowflakes will not be deterred, even by facts and professionals.
Psychiatric Association Hammers Members Over Diagnosing Public Figures
Let's nip this bullshit right in the bud, that being the title. Plus the ensuing smokescreen post here:
They don't give a shit if they violate their training. They want to be loved by the left.
The should lose their credentials if they violate SOP and accepted best practices.
No different than if a MEDICAL DOCTOR DIAGNOSED CANCER OVER THE PHONE.
They should lose thier license to practice. PERIOD.
Opinions and analyses are not "diagnoses". A diagnosis is assembled out of a personal examination.
Got that? Or did you think you were gonna get away with this?
NO ONE has "diagnosed" Rump as far as we know. If anyone has he's making sure no one knows about it.
True opinions are not a "diagnosis", unfortunately you idiots don't understand that.
Well, if the " American Psychiatric Association " called out the comments as "unacceptable and unethical", it looks like YOU ARE THE IDIOT...that is my PSYCOLOGICAL OPINION OF YOU....AN INSANE INDIOT.
Blame the American Psychiatric Association, not us.
Actually look back to post 11 where I already posted the APA's own criteria for NPD, directly from their pdf (which I linked).
You need to STFU and pull your pinhead out of your dick. The practice of Medicine isn't supposed to be political.
None of these assessments have referred to any "politics". They've been entirely about psychological traits. Go ahead -- prove me wrong.
You're too stupid to know that a PSYCOLOGIST testified before members of CONGRESS on Trump's MENTAL HEALTH.....WITHOUT EXAMINING HIM. That's unethical and strictly political.
Get a clue.
Get a link and we'll go from there.
Again, DSM-5 criteria. Again read 'em and weep and make your own judgment. It ain't like this isn't screamingly obvious.
