I think that the mental and physical wellbeing of our leaders is important, and we as the public should take interest. Going around throwing diagnosis is not helping anyone, but I do believe that leaders have the most stressful jobs ever. And as such, they should have weekly meetings with a therapist and psychiatrist to deal with all the shit they live through. THOSE people will have the right to give the leader a diagnosis and treat him. Do we need to know the details as the public? Probably not, but it would help us sleep better if we knew our leaders' health is not being neglected.
It's important to note that many personality disorders are acquired, rather than organic. So the job is what might make the politicians mentally ill, and not the other way around.
As for Trump - you don't need to be a psychiatrist to call the man a narcissist. As someone with a mental illness (cPTSD), I think that excusing Trump's behaviors by claiming he has mental illness is just hurtful to those of us who suffer from them. He's evil, not crazy.
Thanks for reading :)
I guess and hope leaders are having some routine checkups with their physician - I do not know if they also have a therapist, but their doc should have the courage to refer him if he notices something is developing that needs treatment.
Yeah - it would be good to have a general, none detailed, declaration from the PM/ his doc about his health from time to time. this is not something that can be hidden from the people.
Generally, One can agree or disagree with people like Trump and Bibi, me? I mainly pity them - living such a life with so much responsibility, so much lies and so much stress and haters isn't easy - I don't know how they even dare keeping it up and running again and again (regarding Bibi at least)
I think they NEED to have a therapist. Like, legally forced to. Their job is too stressful not to leave a mark. Especially Bibi, who has been doing it for far too long. Sure, his wife is a psychologist, but we both know that's she's more the cause rather than the solution for our PM's stress and anxiety.
