(58,785 posts)spoken out out of duty. If you'd spent 10 minutes on this, you'd know that personality disorders are not considered "illnesses." They can't be cured, and are extremely hard to treat effectively enough to make a long-term difference in function.
You might go do your homework, and don't call others bigoted out of your own ignorance. I was not rude to you, but merely attempting to discuss. Btw, your view that Trump's signs of success are merely being mistaken for dysfunction is interesting, to say the least.
If Trump has ever participated in a formal diagnosis, that professional presumably has not been given permission to discuss it. But his disorder is extremely obvious to professionals, including my sister, a psychologist who specializes in a very different branch of the field.
Should mental disorders and dysfunctions in a presidential candidate not be discussed? Is it unseemly, like at a social event?
We didn't discuss Romney's well known (among some coreligionists and voters who did their homework) belief that Armageddon is due any day and that his god would be appointing someone from his church to preside from the White House over that interesting conflict. That seemingly was regarded by the press as inappropriate for conversation. His personal business. I'm guessing you may have felt that way.
