The issue I have is people calling others mentally ill as an insult or to justify behavior they find unacceptable.

Why not attack his policies?

More than just Democrats are concerned, though. Some very senior Republicans are also concerned with how the White House has been operating

Yeah I don't like that either. There's enough source material to work with without playing armchair psychologist. Much easier to just say "yeah that Comey thing was kinda fucked up" or whatever other controversy you want to insert.

Obviously, if they were President, they would do it their way. But, they are not the President.
I'm not sure what you want me to say.

take this sentence:

"Psychologists say trump is mentally ill"

and google it.

At least the dementia is very obvious even for a layman.

I can only find opinion articles.

I will say again.

Please cite Trumps medical records.

Failing that please cite your qualifications in psychology and justification to make that call based on your television and never meeting the guy.


It's also a desperate stretch to call dementia a mental illness. More like entropy.

Also google "is the earth flat"
Or
"Is the queen a reptile."

And get back to me.

The queen is not a reptile, but Hillary Clinton is. Did you see her eyes?

As for Trump, it could also be ADHS. That would explain, why he can read only short and very simple texts and cannot follow a conversation longer than a few minutes. But if you compare his current behaviour with as he was, say, 10 years ago, you will detect an amount of cognitive erosion

I have no medical qualifications, I use a bone oracle that has turned out to be accurate 85% of the time

Regarding Trump's medical records, as everybody knows, he is the most healthy person who has ever run for president.

Sure, but that's not what this is. It's just an observation. A rather important observation, since he happens to be the president of the US. It's not something that should be ignored. You don't need an official diagnosis to notice that he shows textbook signs of NPD.

So just use disgusting blanket terms enforcing the stigma of MI instead?

Sounds about right.

I'd disagree about dementia.

Yes, you actually do. Otherwise any dork on the interweb
could diagnose any disorder at any time for any self-serving reason.

You need to be smarter than a crate of dirt before you diagnose an ailment
by watching selective sound bites on your television.

Totes formulates it well. Saying Trump shows textbook signs of NPD is a legitimate observation. While when I say he has it is indeed an attempt of a diagnosis.

Also, your quote

Quote

does say that dementia is a mental disorder.

In contrast to that, your limited reading ability is not.

I disagree.

You don't call people who are intellectually disabled, mentally ill and vice versa.

For example, I am "mentally ill" and user is intellectually disabled, there is a difference.

I'd classify dementia as an intellectual disability, not a mental illness.

No, dementia is a well defined illness, or disorder, if you prefer. Intellectual disability just means you are not that bright.

After doing a bit of reading I found mental illnesses called a disease, that's right. A disease.

So I guess call it whatever serves your interests best at the time, if your aim is a coup / civil war, then I suggest playing the mental health card for all it's worth.

Memba the TV has told us that discrimination against MI individuals is just fine.

None of you are qualified to make a diagnosis.
It's just your personal opinion backed and bolstered by fake knowledge.

None of you armchair psychiatrists have ever read a single actual textbook on the subject,
yet, you sputter inane shit like a common talk show host.
