The practice of psychiatry mandates that a psychiatrist should not diagnose without having talked to the person first. In other words, they should not diagnose mental problems of public figures.

The 27 psychiatrists in this book make it clear they are not diagnosing Trump but feel the moral obligation to warn the public of problems they see.

Unfortunately, the book was not given the attention is warrants.

Fascinating. Unsettling. Sombering. Most of all though, deeply horrifying. I actually forgot all the completely insane things Trump has done and said, as a person, as a presidential candidate, and as president. He is undefendable. #bookworm #bookstagram #thedangerouscaseofdonaldtrump

This collection of 27 different essays on the dangerousness of trump can be a bit repetitive due to the fact that the majority of examples used we're similar in each essay, narcissism, lying, grandiosity, buddying up to despots, not understand the basic fundamentals of democracy, just stuff like that. It was okay though because the repetition reinforced how not normal all that is. I appreciated each perspective and the reminder that it is up to us all to be vigilant.
