Reliable Sources on CNN had a doctor on this Sunday with a very savvy take on this issue to address those concerned about professionals, both journalists and therapists, skittish about “diagnosing” Trump from afar.
She stresses that the paramount issue at hand right now is not labeling his actions, but addressing them from the professional point of view of is his behavior at a point, or heading to a point, where it is so dysfunctional that it potentially threatens harm to those within his sphere of influence? Effectively, should he still be ‘piloting this plane’ or does the available evidence point towards further consideration, with no assumptions one way or the other, of possible further action?
Eg, when ‘All the doctors were really anxious to meet me.’ Becomes a non-hyperbolic, "Not only did they meet with me, they were pouring out of the room. The doctors were coming out of the operating rooms. There were hundreds and hundreds of people all over the floor. You couldn’t even walk on it.", it is not unreasonable to take notice.
