I simply must ask your professional opinion: Is the new president actually nuts?  Feel free to take the fifth.

Her reply:

Hi George! Thank you very much! As to your question--let me clarify that I am not officially diagnosing him (disclaimer 🙃--
I can say, however, that there is a general consensus in the psychiatric community that his attitudes and behaviors appear highly consistent with severe narcissistic personality traits...IF he were clinically evaluated and formally diagnosed with severe narcissistic personality disorder the prognosis for his presidency would not be good and the probability of real harm to the US would be high. Currently, psychiatrists are legally prohibited from diagnosing someone who we haven't personally clinically evaluated but concern is so high that many psychiatrists feel it is their ethical duty to warn the general public. Some are taking action in a personal, not professional, capacity.
