I'm sure it's just allergies. Or was it pneumonia? I forget.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

No competent doctor with any integrity would attempt to diagnose someone without performing a personal examination. The one doctor who has personally examined Trump says that he is mentally and physically fit.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

3. On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.
As Maria A. Oquendo, President of American Psychiatric Association, emphasized last year
She reemphasized this in the conclusion where she wrote "Simply put, breaking the Goldwater Rule is irresponsible, potentially stigmatizing, and definitely unethical."
Likewise the American Psychological Association's code of ethics also cautions its members against diagnosing any person, including public figures, whom they have not personally examined. The president of that association, Susan H. McDaniel, reminded the members of this when she wrote about the guidelines during the 2016 election cycle in a letter in The New York Times, reproduced below in full.
McDaniel also sent a letter to the Chronicle of Higher Education regarding a similar article
So much for scurrilous petitions signed by irresponsible, unethical butthurt partisans.
ETA: Having studied questionable "petitions" like this in the past my suspicions are immediately raised when I see terms like "mental health professionals" in that they might include receptionists, billing secretaries, and sales representatives working for companies that sell to psychologists/psychiatrists in order to greatly pad the numbers.
1. It came about after the now defunct Fact magazine published the results of a 1964 survey of 2417 psychiatrists about whether U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater was fit to be president and which concluded no, that he was "psychologically unfit" to be president. Even though this "diagnosis" was obtained "by merely observing him on TV or reading what he writes," Goldwater was labeled a "dangerous lunatic," "paranoid," "emotionally too unstable" and that he had a "Godlike self-image." Sound familiar?
Goldwater sued the editor for libel and won (extremely difficult for a public person to win such cases in the U.S.) a $75,000 (approximately $592,000 today) judgment for damages.Last edited by rogue06; 02-11-2018, 10:46 AM.

I'll bold the pertinent portion for you
