bentbow is right, she is committing malpractice by not talking to trump in person over several sessions, and making a diagnoses like she did.
the thing that is worse though is the democrats are now politicizing psychiatry, and trying to make it seem like trump isnt stable, sorry but that isnt the case and hasnt been. but remember if they can do this to trump, think about what can be done to YOU by anyone. imagine being removed from your place of work and forcibly taken to a mental hospital and incarcerated because someone with a PHD said you were insane and needed treatment immediately to prevent you from harming others.
the democrats at this point are just throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks, and it will backfire on them, likely in 2018 and again in 2020.
Even if she shared her diagnosis she would be in violation to HIPPA unless he signed off on her being able to share.
Stuff like this lady's comments is what is destroying the human species lol!
If it were possible, Dr. Bandy Lee said, "we would be declaring a public health emergency that needs to be responded to as quickly as possible.” “As more time passes, we come closer to the greatest risk of danger, one that could even mean the extinction of the human species,” she said. “This is not hyperbole. This is the reality.”
Wait! This should be a good thing right? The left is always complaining about overpopulation and how humans are a disease upon the Earth...
Yeah, but I wish humans would do it without taking 1/3 of the world's species with it. All the good ones, too: elephants, lions, honey bees, rhinos, blue whales... All we'll leave behind are the lame and gross species like roaches and those bizarrely ugly fish that live 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Well, yes. But to be fair most liberals are not behind this lady's brand of insanity any more than most conservatives are behind Richard Spencer's.

If you count overseas American installations, yes.

I recall most pundits saying that the stock market would be the one thing that would do well under Trump. They weren't far wrong. I have to admit, the market is robust. I wish I could say the same for local American economies (which to be fair are not doing quite as badly as the doomsayers would wish, but could be vastly improved).

100% agree. A lot of the attention as regards socio-cultural trends on college campuses has bee directed on smaller campuses and state schools where protests and dubious-to-outright-false discrimination claims are taking place. Meanwhile, Ivy League schools are allowing disturbing academic rhetoric and other bizarre stories like rewarding criminal vandals who destroy university property that they find offensive.

Normally, I would agree with you, but obviously you are not acquainted with this particular woman in question and her spurious hyperbole.
Even if she shared her diagnosis she would be in violation to HIPPA unless he signed off on her being able to share.

its not even about her sharing her opinions with everyone, whether anyone signed off on it happening or not. she is violating the ethical behavior of psychiatrists by making a specific diagnosis of trump without ever having spoken with him directly.
and before anyone suggests it, this is different that creating a psychological profile of someone by a profiler. with a psychological profile, the person the profile is about is talked about in general terms, and the terms are couched, using words like possibly, and generally, etc. what she is doing is using specific terms, and making a full on diagnosis.

What's that about education?
First of all, chuck the capital D--she's a doctor. M.D. doesn't stand for "medical deity." Her experience and knowledge don't supersede her flouting of the APA's own ethics and standards.
Even Alan Dershowitz, vociferous supporter of Hillary Clinton, has said that this is outrageous. And it IS.
Many psychiatrists are mentally ill themselves. This is just further proof.
