No dream could be as bizarre as our reality.
I discovered an eerie prediction of the two young Trumps while skimming an old movie

So what about Ablow and his BS on Fox News, constantly analyzing people? Wouldnât it be nice if he were held to the same standard as these other psychiatrists are.

I donât think he is, but I think about 5% of the people who will vote for him will be.

Heresy! Thatâs an aspersion upon the impeccable characters of Wyatt & Gary, especially having failed to factor in the good influence of Lisa, their digital genie!

There is no fun in saying hey, that guy we might elect has a documented public history of treating people badly, lying extensively, and self-aggrandizing at the expense of those under him - while apparently showing no humility whatsoever. If you donât like the word that means that and want to call that pathologizing⌠feel free to not like that.
The article is about professional standards for psychiatrists, and not the peanut gallery.
He probably thinks this song is about him.

Not really going to do anyone harm if they figure out that suffering from clinical depression and doing great things are not mutually exclusive.
Though, clinical depression/mood disorders and personality/conduct disorders are a wee bit apple and orangey.

Right, no one enjoys watching the Daily Show and Samantha Bee and John Oliver talk smack about Trump. The audience of all those shows are forcing themselves to endure the suffering.
Yes, professional psychiatrists have to follow ethical standards. But it shouldnât be hard for average schmucks to see that making fun of mental illness rarely convinces anyone to seek help. It obviously increases the stigma of mental illness, which convinces other people to avoid admitting they have a problem and avoid seeking help. Itâs like a nuke that does zero damage to a military target, but does miles and miles of collateral damage to civilians. There are plenty of good people who wouldnât vote for a racist asshole like Donald Trump, but who have depression or OCD or whatever. They know that if they are open about their mental illness, theyâll be treated like crap. They know theyâll get evicted by discriminating landlords, fired by discriminating employers. Why risk your landlord seeing you go into a psychiatristâs office, when you can stay home and cross your fingers that it will go away and you wonât kill yourself?
But yeah, just as long as non-professionals feel free to talk smack about mental illness, thatâs the important thing.
It even kind of looks like him in that picture.
