Can medication treat Trump's disorder?

[fried eggs]

How might his behavior change if he were put on an anti-anxiety drug?

[tonyt53]

1. Nah, but a good ass kicking might do wonders.

2. Yes.

It's called chlorine bleach.

3. Narcissistic Personality Disorder can't be treated with drugs.

That's what a lot of people seem to think is wrong with him (and it fits if you look it up in DSM-IV). He's a mess but it's way more than mere anxiety. The only way drugs could change his behavior is if you gave him enough of something like Thorazine to render him unconscious.

10. Narcissistic Personality Disorder can't be treated in an old man. Period.

tRump is too far gone to benefit from any kind of treatment for NPD. If he had gotten treatment for his megalomania 40-50 years ago, he could have at least been able to put on a gracious front, but at his age, he's beyond help.
You can't teach an old, rabid dog new tricks.

13. He is what he is (which is an awful person).

The GOP's attempts to make him dial it back won't work because he doesn't think there's anything wrong with him or with what he says. It's not that he's an amateur at politics; it's that he's a terrible, disordered person.

16. That's the entire gist of a personality disorder

Personality disordered individuals never think anything's wrong with them. It's the other guy's (or gal's) fault.

18. I've known people like that (though not as absolutely awful as Trump).

My S-I-L is a classic case - she talks over everybody; everything is about her; everything she does is better than anything everybody else does; she's not interested in anyone else except how they relate to her; nothing is ever her fault; and she flies into a rage if you dare to contradict or challenge her. She's a Republican, too, which makes her that much worse. People with NPD are impossible to deal with.

4. There is no cure for Faecal Encephalopathy.

Faecal Encephalopathy: shit-for-brains

7. Cephalanalectomy, in his condition, is probably useless.

Cephalanalectomy - surgery to remove his head from his ass.

5. Succinylcholine?

Deadly nightshade?

12. You win the thread

[Barack_America]

20. Heh.

6. What's the goal? "Treat" is a nebulous term when there's no defined illness.

If he was on an anti-anxiety drug he would be Donald on an anti-anxiety drug.

8. Defenestration would.

11. Preferably from the top floor of tRump Tower

And New Yorkers on the street would celebrate the end of an error.

9. a long vacation might

far, far away

14. A one-way trip to Mars might help

But then again, we might get attacked by a Martian.

15. Fuhgeddaboudit ... or no.

[Oneironaut]

17. He is a sociopath, so no.

He has a personality disorder. Sociopaths can't be treated.

19. --- maybe a high colonic.

21. There"d be nothing left

but a pair of flapping lips and hell toupee.

[Lint Head]

22. You would have to take it yourself to tolerate the bastard.

23. no...he is fucked up beyond repair at his age
